A sound generating device comprises top, bottom and sound generating assemblies. The sound generating assembly comprises a microprocessor, sound chip, capacitor, speaker and power source that are electrically interconnected. The sound can range from animal and/or environmental sounds, music, congratulatory messages, other types of voice recordings, bells, whistles and the like, and the length of play can be varied. When the device is struck against a hard surface, the contact in the top is depressed and interacts with a receptor on the sound generating device to communicate with the microprocessor and sound chip to generate a sound, which can persist from about one or more seconds, depending on how the sound generating device had been programmed. Repeat strikes of the sound generating device against the surface will result in a repetition of the sound.

Personal fan devices that are configured to transition between an open configuration for use and a closed configuration for storage or transport. A fan device includes noisemaking structure(s), such as a rattle and/or a clapper, disposed with the fan device. As the fan device is moved, the handle generates noise as a result of the noisemaking structure(s). A plurality of fan devices may be used to generate high-decibel noises at an event, such as a sporting event or a performance.

A weighted lap pad comprising a base having a body-conforming configuration adapted to be placed across a lap of a seated user, the base having a plurality of channels having weights permanently enclosed within respective channels, the weights having a cumulative weight of greater than 2 pounds and a transparent window positioned at a surface of the base and in part defining a device pocket configured to receive a paper device or electronic touch screen device. The transparent window and associated pocket allowing a user to experience visual and multi-media sensation while simultaneously receiving tactile sensation of the weighted pad. The electronic device also allows for a variety of user control and sensory feedback options.

A toy is disclosed. The toy includes a two-sided frame. The two-sided frame has a first side configured to hold a set of images and a second side includes an acrylic mirror. The toy further includes a stand configured to hold the two-sided frame. The stand has two notches opposite each other.

A smart block can include a plurality of displays and configurable magnet components to selectively attract or repel other smart blocks. The smart block can include proximity sensors to identify a surface of another smart block close to the smart block to determine if the smart blocks are correctly oriented based on an application or game associated with the operation of the smart blocks. A plurality of smart blocks can be configured to display a portion of a picture (as a puzzle), such that when the smart blocks are oriented correctly they collectively display the complete picture. The smart blocks can be used in conjunction with a smart mat that is configured to move the smart blocks in response to commands received from a remote computing device. The smart blocks and the smart mat can facilitate interactivity with other, remote users, such as between a caregiver and a child.

Disclosed herein is an adjustable brightness flying suitable for both recreational and professional uses. The flying disc may comprise a light strip that illuminates when in use. In some embodiments, one or more properties of the light strip can be dynamically adjusted based on the intended application, environmental lighting conditions, and/or the player's preferences. The flying disc may have high-impact resistance, sand resistance, and/or water resistance so that it can be used for different applications and in different environments such as rough terrain, dusty environments, and/or in water. The flying disc may automatically detect a motion state and turn the light strip on or off accordingly. The illumination allows players to use the flying disc for different applications and in different environments, such as in low-lighting conditions. In some embodiments, the brightness may be adjusted and on-time of the light strip may be manually set or adjusted by a player.

A musical toy includes a wheel with a cylindrical face comprised of a magnetic sheet layer, a printed graphic and a top perforated layer such that when combined they form a radial array of rows of receiving recesses each preceded by a sequence indicator such as a number. These recesses are positioned to receive metal note balls by means of an upper housing containing lettered slots that correspond to the lettered columns of the musical analog in the songbook. The tubes of the upper housing are kept in alignment with the receiving recesses by a ratchet system that allows for controlled sequential advancement of the wheel. When the note balls are placed at predetermined locations corresponding with the locations of notes on the represented staff, they fall down a tube and are guided and into the corresponding lettered recess for that position on the wheel face. The note balls are retained by the magnetic attraction provided by the magnet sheet in the wheel assembly. When a motor is engaged to rotate the wheel assembly, switch operators extending down from upper housing contact the note balls to play the music so represented by their location in the staff and note configuration. A magnetic wand is provided for quick, convenient removal of the note balls to reset the toy for another song assembly.
