The present invention relates to a multifunctional clay composition which can be used as a clay capable of performing various functions before drying and which can be used as writing instruments similar to crayons, pastels or colored pencils after drying, and to a process for preparing the same. The multifunctional clay composition may comprise an extender material; a binder; a multifunctional crosslinking agent including a compound having a hydroxyl group of two or more functionality, or forming an ion having a hydroxyl group of two or more functionality in a water solvent; a wax and a pigment.

A mess-free coloring system comprising a coloring medium and optionally one or more coloring utensils is disclosed. The coloring medium can include a substrate with or without decorative effects and one or more coating layers on a surface of the substrate. In various examples, the one or more coating layers include a color-triggering developer, e.g., in the form of a substantially clear resin, and an opaque pigment. Decorative effects integrated with or disposed on the substrate, while initially obscured by the one or more coating layers, can be revealed when the coating layers are mixed with at least one color precursor stored and dispensed from a coloring utensil. The opaque pigment is selected and configured such that, upon receipt of at least one color precursor by the one or more coating layers, a change in the pigment's reflective index occurs as the pigment dissolves into the clear resin developer.

A writing instrument comprises an elongated barrel having a first end, a second end and a plurality of sides including at least three sides, each side having data printed along its length at uniform spacing increments from the first end, the data on any two sides that share the same distance from the first end are computationally related to the data on another side that shares the same distance from the first end. The data includes at least one of a numerical data or a phonic alphabet. The numerical data on a first side and a third side is linked to a sign that associated with an arrow respectively to indicate the direction to which the writing instrument should be rotated to signify the computation relation. Thus, the elongated barrel defines a triangular shaped writing instrument that allows a user to learn the computation relation between the data.

A beach writing utensil includes an elongate body including a first half operatively coupled to a second half at a joint. A head is provided at a first end of the elongate body and defines a conical structure that tapers to a point. A tail is provided at a second end of the elongate body and a handle that extends between the head and the tail. An inner chamber is defined within the elongate body.

A writing utensil container formed from a single plastic mold, including a container front panel, a front bottom component, a container back panel, a back bottom component, and a container lid component. A bottom integral hinge component may pivotally couple the back bottom component and the front bottom component, allowing the container front and back panels to pivot toward and away from each other. A lid integral hinge component may pivotally couple to the container back panel with the container lid component for opening and closing thereof. The container front and back panels may have coupling mechanisms that selectively engage with each other to prevent pivoting about the bottom integral hinge component to retain crayon boxes between the container front and back panels. A front closure feature of the front panel may selectively engage with a lid closure feature for selectively retaining the container lid component in a closed position.

A writing system includes a silicone finger pen covering including a first end portion and a second end portion. The first end portion includes a magnet and the second end portion includes an opening configured to receive an index finger of an end user. An interchangeable pen tip includes a first section and a second section. The first section is configured to contact a writing surface and the second section includes a metal surface configured to magnetically secure to the magnet. A pen tips casing includes a lid portion and a bottom portion. The bottom portion includes a plurality of slots configured to receive a plurality of interchangeable pen tips. The silicone finger pen covering can be an electronic silicone finger pen covering and a non-electronic silicone finger pen covering. The electronic silicone finger pen covering further includes a battery, a processor, and a button.
