toy bow

Kid's shooting plaything

A toy bow is a child's plaything modeled after the archery weapon—a curved stick with a string for shooting lightweight arrows.

Unlike functional bows used for hunting or sport, toy bows are designed for safe play, typically made of plastic or flexible wood with blunted or suction-cup arrows: He got a toy bow and arrow set for his birthday.
