Abstract
A toy that simulates a stand mixer provides users, for example, children with the experience of preparing foods. The mixer includes a base shaped to sit on a horizontal surface. A vertical member extends from the base and holds an extension that extends over a portion of the base. A bowl is sized to fit on the base below the extension. The extension includes a semicircular clip aligned with a semicircular slot on the extension. The mixer includes interchangeable tools, such as a whisk, a dough hook, or a paddle blade. The clip and the extension define a circular space to hold a handle of the tool and allow the tool to spin, simulating the mixing action of a stand mixer. The clip flexes away from the extension to allow one tool to be removed and another tool to be connected.
