An amusement device includes a housing and a light unit positioned on the housing. A mounting ring is rotatably positioned on the housing, encircling the light unit. The amusement device also includes a rotatable, dome-shaped cover sized and shaped so as to be mounted on the mounting ring for conjoint rotation therewith. The rotatable, dome-shaped cover has an outer hemispherical surface adapted for covering the light unit and for placement of markings thereon. The light unit is adapted to illuminate the rotatable cover and any markings placed thereon. A motor unit is positioned in the housing for rotating the mounting ring and hence the cover and any markings thereon. Optionally, the amusement device may be provided with a stationary, dome-shaped cover having an outer hemispherical surface which is sized and shaped so as to be positioned over the rotatable cover and in spaced relationship thereto. The outer hemispherical surface of the stationary cover is adapted to receive markings thereon, whereby any markings placed on the rotatable cover are rotatable relative to any markings placed on the stationary cover upon rotation of the rotatable cover.

A structure for hanging toys while complying with the safety and educational standards is provided. The structure includes one or more top portions, wherein one or more top portions comprises a head, a platform and a base. The base includes a slot to attach a string to which the toy can be attached. The structure further comprises a bottom portion, which is detachable from the top portion. The bottom portion includes at least two legs that are consequently detachable from the top portion and can be interchanged with another set of legs in order to adjust the height of the structure.

An attachment device is provided which allows a range of accessories to be mounted above a bassinet. The attachment device includes two clamps which are biased by a spring to be pulled toward one another, a vertical pole, and an arm which may be curved such that it attaches to the vertical pole at one end and may be substantially horizontal at the other end. The end of the arm furthest from the pole includes an attachment point for attaching accessories. An adapter may be used to connect the accessories to the attachment point. Specific safety measures may also be provided to prevent the attachment device from falling forward into the bassinet and to allow the attachment device to be removed quickly if necessary.

In some embodiments, a system comprises a mat body characterized by a front side, a back side and a thickness; a plurality of anchors, each anchor comprising an anchor block having an aperture characterized by an aperture diameter, a suction cup having a sealing surface and an outer surface, and a stem that is coaxial with the suction cup and connects the suction cup to the anchor block. Each anchor may be disposed through the thickness, such that its anchor block is on the front side and its suction cup extends from the back side. The system may further comprise an elongated tether that is removably coupleable to one of the plurality of anchors, and the elongated tether may comprise an anchor end having a generally spherical anchor terminus characterized by an anchor diameter that is greater than the aperture diameter.

An entertainment and gating assembly for sequestering and entertaining a child includes a gate that is configured to selectively couple to opposing elements of a structure that define an opening, such as jambs of a door, to selectively retain a child within a portion of the structure. At least one entertainment module is coupled to the gate. The at least one entertainment module is configured to entertain the child who is retained in the portion of the structure.

A plush children's lounge is provided. The lounge includes a sidewall connected to a base. The lounge is convertible between an open configuration and a closed configuration and a fastener is provided. When the fastener is connected, the lounge defines a closed configuration having a reduced length and suitable for portability. Backpack straps are provided so that the lounge can be carried on the back. The sidewall is resilient such that the lounge springs into the open configuration when the fastener is released. When in the open configuration, a child can recline inside the lounge. Scallops in the sidewall serve as a headrest for the lounger and a plush toy head with eyes is connected to the lounge such that the child can see the plush toy while lying in the lounge. The lounge further includes arms and legs that resemble an animal or other creature.

This disclosure is generally directed to a parent-infant-interactive, sensory-stimulation toy and associated methods of use. Such a toy features an interchangeable elongated feather-like tail member used for gently and playfully stroking a baby's body, wherein the material use for the feather-like member can be made from various types of irresistibly touchable and non-toxic (and preferably hypoallergenic), baby-safe materials of various textures and different sensations. Such materials include, but are not limited to, silks and velvet that are specially configured to provide the desired touch sensory stimulation while eliminating a choking hazard. The toy features a soft and squeezable body member with other graspable appendages and sound-emanating internal components (bells, rattles, crinkle paper, etc.), and the toy as a whole is artistically designed to be visually stimulating to a child, often being fashioned after various animals and/or imaginary characters.

A baby activity center comprising a foldable mat and a pair of bendable wings connected to the foldable mat. Each bendable wing has an opening. An arch is further coupled to the foldable mat and is positionable in an upright position and a recumbent position. While in the upright position, the arch is engaged with the openings in the pair of bendable wings. While in the recumbent position, the arch is disengaged from the openings in the pair of bendable wings. The baby activity center transforms to a gym configuration where the foldable mat is expanded and the arch is positioned in the upright position across the foldable mat. The baby activity center further transforms to a transport configuration where the foldable mat is folded and the arch is positioned in the recumbent position between the folded mat.

Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for delivering a customizable feedback stimulus. In one implementation, a custom feedback device comprises a shell housing having a first shell and a second shell. The shell housing opening extends between an outer surface of the first shell and an outer surface of the second shell. A plurality of protrusions extends between the first shell and the second shell, and at least one receiving area is defined by the plurality of protrusions between the first shell and the second shell. The receiving area is adapted to house a customized portion.

An activity system may include a mat with a work surface. In some implementations, the activity system includes a stand that can support an electronic device (e.g., a tablet, smartphone, electronic reader, etc.). A tether may also be provided, which, on one end, couples to an anchor on the mat, and at the other end retains a marker or other writing or art instrument. The activity system may facilitate combination of teaching media (e.g., electronic or pre-printed paper-based media) with physical media, such as pens, markers and other writing or marking instruments.
