An animated toy bowling game includes a plurality of pins, a base having a plurality of pin sockets therein, and a toy bowling ball. The pins have fanciful character faces that give the pins the appearance of live characters. Each of the pins is receivable in a respective pin socket for locating the pins in a specified pin arrangement. Each of the pin sockets includes a pin sensor for determining whether a pin is received therein and an actuator element engageable with the respective pin received therein to move, or wobble, the respective pin when the actuator element is moved into and out of engagement with the pin. The game further includes a drive device to effect movement of the actuator elements, and an audio unit operative for producing audible sounds. The sensors, drive device, and audio unit are coupled to a control unit operative for selectively controlling the drive device and the audio unit responsive to detection of the states of the pin sensors. During game play, the pins are wobbled to simulate apparent live movement of the pin characters and the game produces audible sounds including announcements of the player's score and taunting phrases.

A stacking block game includes a plurality of game blocks stackable in layers, and an elongate sleeve comprising four planar sides defining an interior for retaining the game blocks in layers in the interior. Apertures are provided in the sides, coincide with the game block layers and are dimensioned for passing the game blocks therethrough. The game blocks have a cuboid shape and colored indicia on the faces thereof, and are inserted in the sleeve interior in layers of four game blocks. The stacking block game is played by assigning a different indicia to each player, and then each player ejecting one of the game blocks from the sleeve interior, in turn, by pressing a previously-ejected game block through one of the apertures and against a game block opposite the game block to be ejected. Generally, each player makes a note of the indicia on the uppermost face of the previously ejected game block, and then presses that game block against the indicia of a game block in the sleeve matching the noted indicia. However, if the indicia on the uppermost face of the game block ejected on a player's turn matches that player's assigned indicia, the player repeats the turn and is entitled to press the ejected game block against any of the game blocks in the sleeve. The players take turns ejecting game blocks until all of the colored indicia adjacent one of the sides match one of the player's assigned indicia.

A noise making toy in the shape of a hammer. A handle is attached to a collapsible plastic bellows. The bellows has a striking base closing one end and an opening at its opposite end. A sphere closing the opening is attached to the striking base by a tether which may either be rigid or elastic. When the striking base of the bellows is hit against a surface, the bellows is compressed, unseating the sphere and forcing air out through the opening thus creating a noise. When the bellows returns to its uncompressed condition, the tether returns the sphere to its seated position.
