Abstract: A segmented toy bar assembly includes multiple toy bar segments connected by couplings that allow for reconfiguration between an expanded configuration defining an expanded length and a compact configuration having a compact length that is substantially less than the expanded length. The toy bar segments may take the form of flexible members having a cross-sectional width at least two times the cross-sectional thickness, to allow the expanded toy bar to flex into an arch for placement over a play mat or other children's accessory. Toys may be suspended from the erected toy bar for play and entertainment.
