The body section has a hollow interior section for housing the audio circuit. The body section has a first side which is rounded to allow the first side to fit comfortably in a palm of a user. A second side of the body section has a plurality of ridges. The ridges form finger grips to allow a hand of the user to hold the handheld toy.

Abstract: A novel plastic pipe coated on the outer surface with a thermal insulating layer comprising phenolic foam, and wherein the layer is enclosed in an integrity retaining layer serving as a top or outer layer, comprising fibers, such as glassfibers, which fuse together upon exposure to fire, thereby providing mechanical strength to the foam when the pipe is exposed to fire.
