An expandable toy having a plurality of fabric panels (11) joined along their sides forming a desired shape and defining an interior space. These panels can also define a single aperture (17) at the top of the toy that provides access to the interior space. A plurality of elastic bands (15) run along the interior surface of the fabric panels. An inflatable device (18) is disposed within the interior space and the neck of the inflatable device is accessible through the single aperture at the top of the toy. Air is forced into the inflatable device, expanding the inflatable device and when large enough expanding the plurality of elastic bands so that the toy may achieve a desired size. The inflatable device is then sealed and a fabric lid (13) is closed to cover the single aperture when the desired size is achieved. |
