embodiment the base membrane is a polymeric material the polymeric substance that composes the flexible membrane 20 of the base member 16 in fig1 is silicone rubber alternatively other resiliently stretchable substances such as butyl rubber latex rubber and the like can be used because of the presence of the nonresilient nonmemory without memory deformable substance in the base member even if the flexible membrane is resilient the base member 16 as a whole is not and therefore does not tend to bounce far when kicked generally the toy departs from the foot at a velocity not substantially faster i e not more than about 30 faster than the foot 39 s velocity at impact this limits the distance travelled by the toy in the embodiment of fig1 the air resistance increasing means 18 is a gas filled balloon that is integrally connected to the base member 16 preferably by means of a link 24 which has a generally elongated shape and is thinner i e smaller in the dimension perpendicular to the line connecting the centers of gravity of the base member 16 and the air resistance increasing means than either the base member 16 or the air resistance increasing means 18 the air resistance increasing means 18 is less dense and has a larger surface area than the base member 16 in this way when the toy is free falling the weight of the base member causes it to be positioned below the air resistance increasing means and the link facilitates the kicking of the base member without being hindered by the bulk of the air resistance.
