A toy launcher with a drum magazine assembly that has a rotatable drum portion mounted for rotation, with a rear plate and a central support with an opening for a support axle. A ring of projectile holders is connected to the rear plate, with each projectile holder holding at least two projectiles arranged in a generally radially stacked configuration. Generally radially extending walls are located between adjacent projectile holders. Each of the projectile holders includes a slot on a radially inner side into which a projectile biasing arm extends at a projectile launch position. A pusher is located in the housing adjacent to the projectile launch position. Drive wheels are positioned in front of the drum magazine assembly at the projectile launch position. The drive wheels are motorized so that they rotate to propel a projectile pushed from the drum between the drive wheels for launching the projectile.

A training apparatus for teaching and practicing skills for sports. The apparatus includes at least one removable electronic device having at least one proximity sensor, a playing surface having a cavity which receives the at least one removable electronic device, and a gamepiece, such as a ball. Each proximity sensor is adapted to sense the gamepiece and activates a visual or audio indicator on the at least one removable electronic device if the gamepiece is within a range of the at least one proximity sensor.

A floor mat puzzle, forming a non-rectangular isometric polygonal mat, has a plurality of edges and a same number of corners as the edges, each corner disposed between two edges. Each edge has at least one engaging protrusion and at least one concavity, each edge further has a first corner protrusion and a second corner protrusion at two corners, and a corresponding first corner concavity and a corresponding second corner concavity provided respectively adjacent to the first corner protrusion and the second corner protrusion.

A toy projectile launcher including a main body, a launch barrel, a horizontal drum rotatably mounted to the main body and flywheels disposed within the main body. The launch barrel has a central longitudinal axis that extends in a horizontal plane. The horizontal drum stores projectiles so that the projectiles extend longitudinally within the horizontal plane. The flywheels launch the projectiles from the main body as the projectiles are continuously fed from the horizontal drum to the flywheels.

A ball launching toy, comprising: a base stand, a ball, a ball stand, and a launching mechanism. The ball stand is configured on the base stand. The launching mechanism is configured on the base stand to launch the ball. The ball has a fitting recess formed on an outer surface of the ball. The ball stand has a mountain shape. The ball stand includes a fitting projection on a top part thereof. The fitting projection projects upwardly. The fitting projection fits in the fitting recess when the ball is set on the base stand.
