Abstract

A toy adapted to be activated by water from a garden hose. A nozzle assembly at the bottom of a bowl directs water into and agitates water in the bowl while directing a jet of water vertically upwardly from within the bowl. Balls floating on the agitated water are randomly drawn by the jet into the inlet end of a tube supported above the water level around the jet, and are then propelled upwardly through the tube by the jet so that they will amuse or can be caught by children playing under the water jet.
