A kicking toy is shown which has a generally disc-shaped central body and an annular shock absorber generally encircling the central body. At least one of the expansive surfaces of the central body is concave. The shock absorber has an outer, annular kicking portion, positioned outside of the outer wall of the central body, and an inner, annular retention portion positioned inside of said outer wall. The outer kicking portion has grooves and ribs around the periphery of the kicking region. The inner retention portion and outer kicking portion are integrally joined by a plurality of connector lugs extending therebetween and through circumferentially spaced openings in the outer wall of the central body. An inner wall of the central body is adjacent the inner retention portion of the shock absorber. The central body comprises upper and lower body portions, which have studs and sockets for matching the studs and sockets of the opposing body portions. The upper and lower body portions may be identical.
