Title: Hoop toy assembly

Abstract: A toy is provided comprising a circular tubular hoop member containing a removeable multi-spoked member. The spokes, which attach to a center hub, are cylindrical transparent tubes that confine liquid or solid material capable of movement within said tubes. The distal ends of the spokes have stubs which engage with the inside perimeter of the hoop. A hollow multi-lobed extension containing a confined species capable of movement is mounted on each side of the hub. When utilized as a toy for rolling on the ground, the spokes and multi-lobed extensions provide novel visual and audible effects. With the multi-spoked member removed, the hoop can be rotated horizontally about the user's body.
