A toy dart includes a deformable cap that safely impacts a target. The cap includes pairs of polygonal apertures formed on the outer surface of the cap which form substantially parallel hollow passages that provide spaces that allow the cap to deform upon impact with a target.

Disclosed is a laser emitting dart apparatus (LEDA) and method of use. The LEDA provides for a dart apparatus that, by emitting a laser beam from a tip of the dart and projecting a laser dot onto a selected target, facilitates a dart user's aim by providing an indication of where the dart is likely to strike a selected target if the dart is thrown or projected in a substantially straight line from point of the user's grasp to the indicated laser dot projected onto the target. The invention further contemplates various charging cases or dart cradles that provide an electrical source to recharge a battery of the LEDA when the LEDA is not in use.

A toy form dart having an elongate dart body and a dart tip connected thereto. The dart tip has an outer surface extending from a top to a bottom thereof, and a hollow passage extends through the dart tip in a first direction defining first and second mouth openings on opposing. First and second pairs of eye socket indents are located between the respective first and second mouth openings and the top of the dart tip, with the first and second eye socket indents penetrating partially into the dart tip and an interior boundary wall formed between each one of the first pair of eye socket indents and each respective oppositely located one of the second pair of eye socket indents. The first and second pairs of eye socket indents and the respective first and second mouth openings form a face configuration on the opposing sides of the dart tip.
