Abstract
A stuffed toy is provided with a spaced array of lights on its outer surface. The light is emitted from outwardly disposed free ends of optical fibers of varying lengths. The frequency and intensity of the light is synchronized with sounds, music and/or words emitted when the toy is squeezed in the area where a switch is located. The squeeze switch, a battery housing and a speaker are located in the batting material inside the toy and are electrically connected to an integrated circuit also housed in the batting. A microchip is mounted on the printed circuit board and produces light-generating signals and audio-generating signals. An LED lamp receives the light-generating signals. The optical fibers have adjacent ends which are clamped together in a lamp-conforming configuration. The adjacent ends of the optical fibers and the LED lamp are encapsulated and secured in fixed relation to one another within the batting.
