An infant toy support includes a cross member having a pair of angular leg members pivotally attached to each end thereof. A lock mechanism is provided for each of the leg members which permits the height of the cross member to be adjusted between several height positions. Additionally, the lock member provides for the pivotal folding of the toy support structure to a collapsed more compact configuration for storage and transport. Angled members are provided for each leg member to further captivate the infant beneath the cross member. A plurality of straps extend downwardly from the cross member to suspend toy articles above the infant.

A toy top having an air impeller-driven flywheel and a spring-latch mechanism which releases an upper portion of the top from a lower housing when an articulated arm of the spinning top comes into contact with an object such as a stationary object or another top. The flywheel located inside the lower housing is rotated by blowing air into one of two ducts on the housing. The stream of air comes into contact with the blades of an impeller causing rotation of the impeller and the flywheel which is attached to the impeller. The flywheel is attached to a shaft rotatably mounted inside the housing. Slots in bosses extending upward from the housing releasably engage a plate at the bottom of the upper portion. The slots disengage from the plate when one of two articulated arms of the spinning top contacts an object allowing a spring mounted inside the upper portion to push the upper portion away from the lower housing. The top appears to 'blow up' as the upper portion pops up from the housing.
