Abstract

Playthings, such as exercise and entertainment hoops, children's bats, batons and jump ropes, are provided with an elongated sheath of fabric tightly adhering thereto, the fabric sheath being available in a variety of decorative patterns at a low cost. This enables the base product to be mass produced in an inexpensive way in accordance with conventional practice, but then to provide such products with individualized appearance with the fabric covering.
