Abstract
A fluid-holding toy including a flexible container capable of holding fluid. The container has a valve configured to be closed upon the introduction of fluid into the container, whereby the fluid creates a first pressure inside the container closing the first valve. The first valve is configured to be opened upon the occurrence of a second, higher pressure inside the container. The valve can include a flexible flap attached to the inner surface of the container and adapted to cover an opening in the container. Additional valves can also be provided.
