When the child operates, the drivable wheels in odd numbered positions (e.g., the first drivable wheel, the third drivable wheel, and the fifth drivable wheel) rotate in a clockwise direction or a counterclockwise direction, and the drivable wheels in even numbered positions (e.g., the second drivable wheel, the fourth drivable wheel, and the sixth drivable wheel) rotate in opposite directions. In other words, the drivable wheels in the even-numbered bits do not rotate in the same direction as the drivable wheels in the odd-numbered bits.

Preferably, the bottom of the toy of the present invention may include a plurality of suction cups, thereby rendering the toy suitable for mounting on a generally vertical surface, such as a side wall or end wall of a bathtub. Specifically, as shown in fig. 25 to 26, a first suction cup 601 is formed at the bottom of one end (free end) of the first upper stage, and a second suction cup 602 is formed at the bottom of one end (free end) of the third upper stage. The toy can be fixed to, for example, the side wall of a bathtub by using the first suction cup 601 and the second suction cup 602 when a child takes a bath.

Although the figures show the rotatable hubs as having different peripheral geometries from one another, it is understood that the rotatable hubs may have the same peripheral geometries as one another. In this case, the drivable wheels may have mutually identical inner circumferential geometries corresponding to the outer circumferential geometry of the rotatable hub.

Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described, and that various changes and modifications can be made by one skilled in the art within the scope of the present invention and that these modifications should not be individually understood from the technical idea and viewpoints of the present invention.
