Abstract
A toy chest of animal form mounted on casters for easy mobility has a hinged lid which may be opened for access to a toy storage compartment in the body portion of the chest. A manually operated pocketed delivery cylinder on the lid enables a child to deliver toys into the storage compartment and in so doing the delivery cylinder drives associated mechanism to actuate a sounding device housed within the lid and simultaneously causes movement of simulated animal eyes. The audible and visual reward for the child during activation of the delivery cylinder provides an incentive for the child to clean up his or her room.
