A play kit for the amusement and entertainment of a child in simulating outdoor activity while playing with a doll or other toy figurine. The kit includes a carrying case in the form of a free-standing gazebo having a hexagonal base. At each corner of the base an ornamental post upstands and is secured at its upper end to a hexagonal roof member for supporting the member above the base. Between one or more pairs of adjacent posts, low fence sections may be mounted as appearance improvement features and as functional members, e.g., providing support to the structure. A fold-down side panel is provided for each side of the hexagonal case for opening and closing the case. Each panel is secured to the base at a lower base edge thereof and has a fold line adjacent the base edge. When folded down, the panels provide horizontal platforms having upwardly facing platform surfaces as additional floor play area extending peripherally about the gazebo floor. One or more of the panels may have secured to its platform surface a play item or structure such as a hammock or a swing in which a doll may be positioned during play. When the panels are moved to their upright position enclosing the case, the hammock or swing is carried therewith to a position within the interior of the gazebo for storage purposes. Releasable latches are provided to retain the side panels in their upright positions while the case is being stored or transported.

A toy potato chip maker for producing dry cooked potato chips which includes a cooking chamber with openings in opposite walls of the cooking chamber to provide a substantially horizontally alined passageway through the chamber. A continuous screen-type conveyor is mounted on a pair of rollers on either side of the cooking chamber so that prepared slices of potatoes can be moved either stepwise, successively through, or continuously through the cooking chamber, and out of the cooking chamber by hand rotation of a crank on one of the rollers. Lightbulbs are located in the cooking chamber, both above and below the passageway, to create radiant heat for cooking the potato chips which are moved by the screen through the cooking chamber. A novel potato slicer also is provided.

Various patterns of receptor holes formed in the torso, arms and legs of a plastic toy action figure permit various accessories, also of plastic, having compliant press-in pins to be selectively added to and removed from the toy figure. Additionally, a rotatable coupling mechanism extends through the torso, the coupling mechanism having a receptor hole at each end thereof, the holes in the coupling mechanism being in a predetermined relation with respect to prearranged patterns of receptor holes in the front and rear of the torso. In this way, accessories can be plugged into the ends of the coupling mechanism. The coupling mechanism is provided with two sets of facial teeth or serrations that are normally resiliently urged into engagement but which disengage if the coupling mechanism is subjected to an excessive amount of twisting force, thereby avoiding breakage. Associated with the coupling mechanism is a sound creating device that produces an audible clicking as the coupling mechanism is rotated in either direction.
