Abstract
A flotation device useable as a life-preserver and a water toy, the device including a casing formed of water-impermeable synthetic plastic film material shaped to define a pocket for receiving a conventional pillow having a compressible filler. The pocket is provided with a closable inlet which when closed, hermetically seals the pillow-stuffed casing to provide a compressible yet buoyant life-preserver. The casing may be die cut to assume the contours of a humanoid or animal-like figure whereby the floatation device then functions as a water toy.
