Abstract
A toy stethoscope having a resilient sound collector at one end thereof. The sound collector is soft and pliable so as to prevent injury to a person in the event the person is struck by the sound collector. The sound collector further comprises a damper formed from a soft sponge or foam material that prevents unpleasant pressure and/or injury to the ear drums in the event a loud sound is introduced into the sound collector due to someone yelling or blowing directly into the collector or the like.
