A ball is provided forming an inside structure of the snow person, the ball having an inner and outer surface. The ball is a unitary work piece that is free and unconnected to other work pieces. An adhesion surface is disposed on the outer surface of the ball, the adhesion surface provided with nodules that extend away from the surface of the ball to adhere snow while the ball is rolled. Light units are integrated into the surface of the ball and having light emitting portions that extend away from the surface of the ball. A light output of the light units is selected to transmit light through a layer of snow. Connections between the light units situated within the ball connect the light units together.

A system for making a craft comprises a core and a sleeve. The core includes a molding portion. The sleeve has an exterior surface and defines an interior space. The sleeve comprises a collapsible portion that is collapsible towards the interior space. The sleeve is configured to cover the molding portion such that the molding portion of the core prevents collapsing of the collapsible portion interiorly. The core is configured to be releasable from the sleeve and when there is a layer of dried molding material on the exterior surface, the collapsible portion of the sleeve is articulable interiorly away from the layer of dried molding material to at least partially collapse the sleeve for removal from the layer of dried molding material.

A snowman making apparatus having a hemi-spherical bowl element, wherein the bowl element has an open top, and an aperture at a base of the bowl element to facilitate collection of snow in the bowl element, via dragging the bowl element over a surface of snow. In a preferred embodiment, the snowman making apparatus comprises three bowl elements of differing sizes, for making a snowman comprising a base segment; a mid-section segment; and a head segment, of different sizes.

A marking system includes a composition having at least one color precursor, a moldable substrate having a color developer, and a marking instrument for applying the composition to the moldable substrate to form at least one mark on the moldable substrate. A method of producing a colored three-dimensional molded object includes the steps of manipulating a moldable substrate having a color developer into a molded shape having an outer surface; and applying, on the outer surface of the molded shape, a first composition having at least one color precursor to a first portion of the molded shape.

The present invention is directed to a flexible water based play materials composition, such as playing dough and/or gel-like playing material having antimicrobial properties which provides improved safety requirements and non toxicity for young children and infants playing with such product. The antimicrobial properties of the flexible play composition according to the present invention are achieved by incorporating into the mixture of the play composition a combination of two specific distinct antimicrobial ingredients, namely silver ions and benzalkonium chloride.

The present invention relates to a mould (1) for kids for making jewelry from a granular water-sensitive product, comprising: —a hollow body (2) having an opening (3) defining a respective forming zone; —a first element (4) combined with the hollow body (2) for closing-opening the opening (3) at a first side of the forming zone; —a second element (5) combined with the hollow body (2) for closing, and possibly opening, the opening (3) at a second side of the forming zone; wherein at least one among the hollow body (2), the first element (4) and the second element (5) comprises a plurality of holes (6) which are open in the forming zone, such that the forming zone is fluidically communicating with the environment outside of the mould (1).

A ball is provided forming an inside structure of the snow person, the ball having an inner and outer surface. The ball is a unitary work piece that is free and unconnected to other work pieces. An adhesion surface is disposed on the outer surface of the ball, the adhesion surface provided with nodules that extend away from the surface of the ball to adhere snow while the ball is rolled. Light units are integrated into the surface of the ball and having light emitting portions that extend away from the surface of the ball. A light output of the light units is selected to transmit light through a layer of snow. Connections between the light units situated within the ball connect the light units together.

A toy set includes a first canister configured to hold a first amount of moldable material; a second canister configured to hold a second amount of moldable material; one or more pre-formed design elements; and a storage apparatus configured to hold the first canister and the second canister, the storage apparatus including: a first storage component including a structure that defines an opening that extends in a first direction, the structure being configured to hold one of the at least one pre-formed design elements or the first canister in the opening; and 100 a second storage component including abase portion that extends along a second direction that is different from the first direction, the base portion including an interface configured to hold the second canister.
