A flapping heart amusement device comprises a left side, a right side, and a central support member. The left side and right side are symmetrical in nature and represent each half of a heart shape. An interior edge of each side meet at the central support member, which is cylindrical and vertical in orientation. A vertically aligned hinge pin runs through the central support member through openings therewithin, the hinge pin allowing the left side and the right side to swivel therefrom. A housing encapsulates a power means and is located at a position behind the left side and right side. A left linkage means extends outwardly from the power means located within the housing and engages the left side, a first end of the left linkage rigidly affixed to a double-ended crank shaft located within the housing and positioned perpendicularly thereto, with a distal end of left linkage means rigidly attached to the left side of the heart. Similarly, a right linkage means extendes outwardly from the power and engages the right side of heart, a first end of the right linkage means rigidly affixed to the double-ended crank shaft, a distal end of the right linkage means rigidly attached to the right side of heart. In total, engagement of the power means functions to rotate the crankshaft along the horizontal axis, functioning to engage the left linkage means and right linkage means, and functioning to drive the two sides of the heart forwardly and rearwardly to create a flapping effect.
