Abstract
A child's water toy comprises a pool which has inflatable (with either air or water) sides with a floor extending between them. One or a number of applique accessories may be heat sealed to the bottom or the sides of the pool. Exemplary of these applique accessories are slides, floating animal figurines, and the like. Bobbing accessories are counter balanced accessories which may either float upright to be a playmate for the child or bob over to become a float on which the child may ride. The bobbing toy may have articulated joints which make it appear to change its shape depending upon whether it is standing upright or lying down. Still other accessories are scenery in the nature of trees, islands, vines, or the like, which may shower or drip water. These accessories may be assembled in different ways to provide play groupings.
