Abstract

A toy article having a body formed in an egg-like configuration and including a top portion and a base in which a weight is located, the weight insuring that the body will always return to an upright position regardless of exterior forces applied thereto. A central section is disposed between the base and the top portion and is rotatable relative thereto, the central section being divided symmetrically into an opaque portion and a clear portion. Located interiorly of the central section is a fixed interior band having graphic material imprinted thereon that is visible when the clear portion of the central section is aligned therewith, wherein relative movement of the central section with respect to the interior band, locates a selected part of said graphic material in alignment with the clear portion of the central section for visual access thereto.
