An elastic toy comprises two or more integrally formed chambers 11, 12, each defined by a wall having an aperture 15a, 15b, through which the other chamber or chambers can pass when reconfiguring the toy. The chambers are preferably concentric in one or more configurations and the chambers may have different internal features that can be exposed, each configuration process being reversible. The chambers may be joined by an integral web 13. The material used for the toy is preferably highly elastic, such as a copolymer, SEBS, with plasticizing oils, and may have a tacky or sticky surface. A toy comprising one or more chambers, which can be turned inside-out to reveal different surface patterns, and an integral elongate member 17 that passes through a chamber aperture 15a in one configuration is also disclosed. |
