<p>A toy (12, 112) has a generator (14, 114) and an actuator (16, 116) therewith. The actuator enables the generator to generate a sound from or movement by the toy. A removable element (52, 152, 252) is operably connected from outside the toy to the generator within the toy to enable the generator to perform at a first level of operation and is removed from operable connection with the generator to enable the generator to perform at a second level of operation different from the first level. In one embodiment, a toy (12) includes a sound generator (24) and operative connection with the removable element (52, 252) enables the generator to generate sound of a first volume and duration while removal of the removable element enables the sound generator to generate sound at second volume and/or duration. which is different from the first volume or duration. In another embodiment, a toy (112) includes a movement generator (114) and operative engagement with the removable element enables the generator to produce a first movement of a first duration while removal of the removable element (152, 252) enables the generator to generate movement different in duration and/or action from the first movement. The removable element is incorporated into packaging (32, 132) so that the element is removed from the toy when the toy is removed from the packaging. <IMAGE></p> |
