Abstract: A tossing and catching play object in the shape of a ball or flying disc, made of a relatively malleable rubber or plastic material, having animal limb shaped appendages extending outward from the surface of the play object. The appendages are substantially flat in one dimension and provide aerodynamic forces to the play object when the play object is tossed through the air. The trajectory or path of the play object thus becomes variable and unpredictable, thus adding a degree of challenge in playing with the object. Also, the spherical embodiments of the invention are prevented from rolling far away from the intended receiver if not caught.
