Blue plastic fist toy, used to punch an opponent in a playful manner.

The soft punch emits a squeak on impact.

Toys like this are used during the period of Carnival in Portugal, which occurs before Lent. During the public celebration of Carnival there is a parade where many participants dress up in costume.
