Container having extruder for a modeling compound

A toy for extruding a deformable molding compound, comprising:

• a container comprising:
• a container portion having a housing defining a cavity and a container opening, wherein the container opening and the cavity are configured to receive components of a molding compound extrusion set;
• a lid portion moveably attached to the container portion and moveable between an open position wherein the container opening is accessible from the exterior of the container and a closed position overlying the container opening;
• an extruder assembly comprising:
• a plunger portion attached to the lid portion, and
• an extruder portion disposed within the cavity of the container portion, the extruder portion having an extruder opening and a receiving chamber, wherein the receiving chamber is configured to receive a quantity of the molding compound, and to receive the plunger portion when the lid portion moves from the open position to the closed position;
• and
• an attachment mechanism having a first attachment surface disposed on the container portion and a second attachment surface disposed on the lid portion, wherein the attachment surfaces are configured to engage each other when the lid portion is in the closed position to detachably retain the lid portion in the closed position,
• wherein the plunger portion engages a quantity of modeling compound disposed in the receiving chamber to force the modeling compound through the extruder opening when the lid portion moves from the open position to the closed position.

A toy for extruding a deformable molding compound, comprising:

• a container having a storage portion having a container opening and being configured to receive and store components of a molding compound extrusion set, and an extruder portion having an extrusion opening and a receiving chamber configured to receive a quantity of the modeling compound;
• and
• a lid moveably attached to the container and moveable between an open position and a closed position with an outer edge of the lid portion surrounding the container opening, and having a plunger extending therefrom, wherein the receiving chamber is configured to receive the plunger when the lid moves from the open position to the closed position,
• wherein the plunger engages a quantity of modeling compound disposed in the receiving chamber to force the modeling compound through the extruder opening as the lid moves from the open position to the closed position.
