An ambulatory worker toy having a wind-up spring motor within a housing which includes a head casing movably mounted on a torso casing from which fixed and movable arm members extend. Two movably mounted leg members are connected to the spring motor via an ambulatory transmission mechanism to periodically raise and shift the leg members to propel the toy sideways in a walking motion. A tool movement transmission mechanism driven by the spring motor moves the movable arm member and a toy broom attached thereto to simulate a sweeping action. Finally, an oscillatory transmission mechanism driven by the spring motor periodically pumps an internal whistle mechanism and moves the head casing in simulation of a whistling worker. The net effect of the various transmission mechanisms is to present a toy which is powered by a single spring motor but which nevertheless simulates a sweeping worker which whistles as it walks.
