Abstract
A toy includes a chamber having a longitudinal axis, a hollow interior, a first opening, and a second opening. The toy includes a die coupled to the first opening of the chamber, and an extruder received at the second opening of the chamber. A cavity is defined and bound by the interior of the chamber, the first opening, and the extruder. The extruder is positioned to advance longitudinally through the chamber relative to the die. Rotation of the extruder causes the chamber and formable compound received within the cavity to rotate relative to the die, and advancement of the extruder forces the rotating formable compound through the die.
