An apparatus for producing a sound and visual display has a generally upstanding tubular body having a circumferential wall defining a centrally located vertically extending longitudinal axis. A reservoir is formed in the lower part of the generally cylindrical tubular body with a plurality of bead-like objects normally stored in the reservoir. An auger is used to transport the bead-like objects from the reservoir to an upper portion of the generally cylindrical tubular body. The body also includes a plurality of generally horizontally extending spokes supported on the circumferential wall and extending inwardly at vertical intervals with respect to the vertically extending longitudinal axis. A plate forms the bottom of the upper portion of the body and extends in a direction generally perpendicular to the vertically extending longitudinal axis and includes at least one releasable door therein. A timer controls the opening of the releasable door at predetermined intervals based upon the sufficient accumulation of bead-like objects in the upper portion allowing the beads to fall through the plurality of spokes.
