Is there such a toy?

Yes if you use a 1.5V blocking oscillator.

I want one that has the (over?) driver built into the LED... :)

Some time ago Elektor did a front cover freebie; a tiny PCB with a dedicated
LED drive chip and inductor for voltages down to 0.9V - that's probably as
small as it gets.

Can't remember details but if you google Elektor and click contact from
their home page, you can ask the editor.

You could use this simple circuit to work down to <<1V --


FB = OUT for Red

FB = GND for Green/Blue/White
|
.----------.
Vin 0.8V minimum | FB |
10uH | |
___ | L6920 | LED
o----+---UUU----|LX OUT|----+->|---+
+ | | | | |
--- | | | |
--- | REF | | .-.
47uF | '----------' | | |
| | + | |
GND 100n --- --- '-'
--- 47uF --- |
| |
GND GND GND


All the parts can be tiny SMT components. Reduce the 47uF caps to 22uF
and use 0805 22uF/6.3V ceramics and an 0805 inductor to reduce size,
and the 100n can be an 0402.
