Device with flapping display
A toy includes a magnetically responsive member, a fulcrum member, a printed circuit board (PCB), a lid covering the PCB, an activation switch, a touch sensor, a motion sensor, an audio transducer, a signal generator and a controller. The flexible PCB includes an electromagnetic coil, and a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs). Opening of the lid actuates the activation switch, and in response, the controller controls the signal generator to generate a coil control signal for the electromagnetic coil to produce a magnetic field that interacts with the magnetically responsive member, to induce oscillatory flapping of the PCB. In response to detecting a touch signal from the controller, or a motion signal from the motion sensor, the controller also generates a LED control signal to control illumination of the LEDs while the PCB is flapping, and an audio control signal to control the audio transducer to output sound.

ELECTRONIC TOY BRICK
An electronic toy brick configured to be selectively attached to other toy bricks. One electronic toy brick having at least a top plate with projections, walls, an electrical node for receiving electricity, and a light device electrically coupled to the electrical node. At least one of the top plate and walls are translucent, partially translucent or have a hole to permit light from the light device to exit the toy brick.

UV-LIGHT DRAWING ACTIVITY
An invisible tracing or drawing activity utilizes a universal self-adjusting UV lamp which forms part of or can attach to a grip which slides onto most writing instruments. The grip is flexible and can stretch to adjust so as to accommodate various sizes of drawing utensils. Blueish (UV) light will reveal hidden artwork that can be traced, drawn, or colored within. Coloring books act as collections of different and unique hidden artwork that can occupy a child's attention for hours, days, or in some circumstances, even weeks.

TOY WITH LIGHT EMITTING DIODE
A toy has one or more LED light sources positioned on the toy so the light source illuminates beyond the toy. A toy to be worn on the human finger comprises a body includes an anchoring portion for receiving or locating a finger or fingers. A LED or other light source is operated on the toy to interact with photo- luminescent ink and other inks pre-printed or included in a decoration on the surface of another item such as a book or other toy. The toy is a reading tool or a light source or an enhancement of other toys or writings. The LED light sources include a black light and/or other LED lights of other colors. The lights are connected to a circuit board and an integrated power source, which are connected to a switch encased on the toy.
