    Abstract: A toy (10) is disclosed including a spinner (34) having an annular member (38) formed of compressible material rotatably moveable relative to first and second, semiconductor walls (18, 28). A first track wall defined by walls (14, 16, 20) extends between the extremities of the first wall (18). A second track wall defined by walls (24, 26, 30) extends between the extremities of the second wall (28) parallel to and spaced from the first track wall, with the first and second track walls defining a track for rolling receipt of the balls (76). The track includes first and second inclined portions having a bell (68) at their interconnection. In operation, balls (76) compress the compressible material and are captured between the annular member (38) and the first wall (18) when the spinner (34) is rotated.
