Abstract
A toy tea kettle or the like has a spout and whistling means to simulate the sound made by steam escaping from a boiling kettle. The spout has a lid, and the kettle has a toothed rack coupled to the lid for oscillating the lid to simulate the action of an actual kettle lid in response to steam escaping from the spout. The kettle further has a reciprocally movable plunger coupled to the toothed rack for moving the lid to a fully opened position upon depression of the plunger to prepare the kettle for pouring.
