Abstract:

A facade (10) for simulating the appearance of another object which is attached to a child's play vehicle (12). It includes a first substantially planar member (14) which has a front surface (18) and is attached to a forward portion of the play vehicle (12). The first member (14) is shaped to have a perimeter which substantially defines an anterior profile of the object. A second substantially planar member (16) is folded into a three-dimensional shape and attached to the first member (14). The second member (16) projects fowardly from the front surface (18) of the first member (14) and is shaped to define a forward profile of the object. It may also include a rear portion (160) which has first and second substantially planar side panels (162, 164) which are connected along upper edges (168, 170) and attached to the play vehicle (12) in a position to partially cover a rear wheel (172) of the vehicle (12). The first and second side panels (162, 164) have a perimeter which substantially defines a side profile of a rear portion of the object.
