A toy includes a chamber having a longitudinal axis, a hollow interior, a first opening, and a second opening. The toy includes a die coupled to the first opening of the chamber, and an extruder received at the second opening of the chamber. A cavity is defined and bound by the interior of the chamber, the first opening, and the extruder. The extruder is positioned to advance longitudinally through the chamber relative to the die. Rotation of the extruder causes the chamber and formable compound received within the cavity to rotate relative to the die, and advancement of the extruder forces the rotating formable compound through the die.

1. A toy comprising: a chamber having a longitudinal axis, a hollow interior, a first opening, and a second opening; a die coupled to the first opening of the chamber; and an extruder received at the second opening of the chamber to define a cavity bound by the interior of the chamber, the first opening, and the extruder, with the extruder positioned to advance longitudinally through the chamber relative to the die; wherein: rotation of the extruder causes the chamber and formable compound received within the cavity to rotate relative to the die, and advancement of the extruder forces the rotating formable compound through the die. 2. The toy of claim 1 further comprising a housing that includes a body, a first shelf extending from a first portion of the body, a second shelf extending from a second portion of the body, and a base that supports the body. 3. The toy of claim 2 in which the extruder is mounted to the second shelf and able to move relative to the housing, the chamber is positioned between the first shelf and the second shelf to receive the extruder and to rotate relative to the housing, and the die is positioned between the chamber and the first shelf and is stationary with respect to the housing. 4. The toy of claim 3 in which the second opening of the chamber is coupled to the second shelf. 5. The toy of claim 1 further comprising a rotary device that causes rotation of the extruder. 6. The toy of claim 5 in which the rotary device comprises a crank. 7. The toy of claim 5 in which the rotary device comprises an electro-mechanical device. 8. The toy of claim 5 further comprising another rotary device that causes rotation of the die in a direction opposite to a rotational direction of the extruder. 9. The toy of claim 8 in which the other rotary device comprises a crank. 10. The toy of claim 8 in which the other rotary device comprises an electro-mechanical device. 11. The toy of claim 1 in which the extruder includes a surface that contacts the formable compound received within the cavity, and a diameter of the cylindrical interior is approximately the same as a diameter of the extruder surface. 12. The toy of claim 1 in which the extruder includes a screw.
