Accordingly, the invention is based on the object to create a toy that is seen from an aesthetic standpoint and the standpoint of the imagination off at "drawing ^is: t and has an easy and economical to manufacture construction.

This task is solved by the fact that the stem lengthways * « versohieblioh and the flowers arranged on them leaves in a closed or open bud division are bringable »
