    Abstract: A wheeled push toy including a housing and a push rod. A first action element is adapted to move up and down in a generally continuous fashion with respect to the housing while a second action element is adapted to be intermittently propelled up the push rod a short distance and fall back by gravity. The action of the above described elements is controlled by the movement of the supporting wheels of the toy and preferably in a fashion such that the intermittent movement of the second action element is produced only upon forwardly pushing the toy in contrast to rearwardly pulling such.
