Abstract: The invention provides a toy that talks when activated. The toy may be activated by simulating play with the toy or by changing the illumination of the toy's environment. Through electronic circuitry, the toy produces a sound output when its magnetic sensor detects a magnet nearby or when its photosensor detects a change in the level of illumination in the surrounding area. The toy may be used for peek-a-boo play involving children.

Abstract: A child's toy has an electrically actuated function such as talking or moving which function is initiated by first covering a sensor and then, within a short time, uncovering the sensor. In a preferred arrangement, a stuffed doll includes potodetectors located in the area of the doll's eyes and movable arms configured such that the hands of the doll may be placed over the doll's eyes and then promptly removed from the doll's eyes whereupon the doll's speech synthesizer produces a message such as "peek-a-boo.

Abstract: A combination children's garment and children's toy includes both a padded portion providing protection from the impact ordinarily encountered during a boxing match, and a decoy face on the front of the garment intended to attract the punches thrown by the opponent. Both of these features provide safety during use of the toy. The toy includes a set of boxing gloves attached by sleeves, potentially permanently, to the garment. The sleeves are adjustable in length to fit the user. The face on the front of the garment provides additional entertainment during use of the garment, thus encouraging full enjoyment of both safety features of the invention. This is accomplished by providing the padding in the front of the garment, at the very location where the face is provided on the garment. The face is provided in the torso area, thus reducing the tendency to strike the opponent in the head, but rather encouraging blows directed to the heavily padded decoy face provided on the torso.
