Animal shaped punch toy

1. A punching toy, comprising:

an elastomeric outer wall integrally forming an expandable body portion, a head portion, a tail portion and a tube portion coupled to the head portion;

a light emitting device coupled to the head portion to emit light from the head portion; and

a motion sensing device coupled to the light emitting device, and

wherein the tail portion comprises a closed loop sized to fit around a user's finger and configured to stretch from a first original length to a second longer length and rebound from the second length to the first original length during a punching operation and

the tube portion comprises an opening to allow entry of forced air into the body portion.

2. The punching toy of claim 1 , wherein the elastomeric outer wall expands from an original shape to an inflated shape when air is forced into the tube portion and reforms back to the original shape when the air is released.

3. The punching toy of claim 2 , wherein the tube portion blocks air from escaping the body portion when tied in a knot.

4. The punching toy of claim 2 , the tube portion having a valve, wherein the valve prevents air from escaping the body portion.

5. The punching toy of claim 1 , wherein a size of the body portion is variable when expanded based on an amount of forced air retained.

6. The punching toy of claim 1 , the body portion having at least two sets of legs.

7. The punching toy of claim 1 , wherein the expandable body portion is configured to be expanded in a similar manner to a balloon when air is forced through the tube portion.

8. A method comprising:

inflating a toy having an elastomeric outer wall integrally forming a body portion, a head portion having a mouth and a tail portion from a first original configuration to a second expanded configuration wherein in the expanded configuration the body portion expands while the head portion, the mouth and the tail portion retain their original shape when air is forced therein, wherein a light emitting device is coupled to the head portion to emit light from the head portion and a motion sensing device is coupled to the light emitting device;

punching the toy, wherein punching comprises inserting a person's finger through a closed loop formed by the tail portion and forcing the body portion of the toy away from the person's hand while the finger remains within the closed loop; and

wherein upon the release of air from the toy, the toy returns back to the first original configuration.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the toy further comprises a tube portion coupled to the mouth of the head portion, wherein the tube portion operates to allow entry of forced air into the body portion.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the tube portion is stretchable.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the tube portion comprises a valve and the valve prevents air from escaping the body portion.
