A method of manufacturing a toy using a model frame in liquid includes: filling a water tank; dissolving calcium chloride, a powder component, into the water filled in the water tank; wherein the amount of calcium chloride is determined in anticipation of the degree of gelation by chemical action with sodium alginate, filling a liquid paint to the model frame; wherein the liquid paint is comprised water 96 wt. %, CNC 0.99 wt. %, sodium alginate 3 wt. %, luminous material 0.01 wt. % or water 91 wt. %, CNC 1 wt. %, sodium alginate 3 wt. %, shiny material 5 wt. % or water 96 wt. %, CNC 0.99 wt. %, sodium alginate 3 wt. %, color conversion material 0.01 wt. %; immersing the model frame filled with the liquid paint in the water tank; solidifying and shrinking the liquid paint filled in the model frame immersed in the water tank; and shaking the model frame.

Devices and methods for illuminating an interactive toy via a light pipe and an external light source. The toy may not have any internal battery, light, or electronics. The light source may be provided via a mount for the toy, such as an electronic device.

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 finger puppet toy permits for at least one of a reading tool and a light source or an enhancement of other toys or writings. A LED or other light source is operated on the toy to interact with photo-luminescent ink and other inks. A photo-luminescent ink and other inks are 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 may include 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. The mechanism, number and location of LED lights, the circuit board, wiring, power source and switch are further defined based on the shape of the character of the toy.

A toy gun (1) capable of illuminating soft projectile (70) being ejected therefrom, comprising a gun body (10), a grip assembly (30) is fixedly attached to the gun body, and a trigger assembly (50) mounted on the grip assembly. The gun body (10) has a power source (100), a motor (200), a launch assembly (300) with a launch tube (400), a light source (500) and a light reflecting unit. When the trigger assembly (50) of the toy gun (1) is actuated, the power source (100) activates the motor (200) and switches on the light source (500). The activated motor (200) causes the launch assembly (300) to discharge a soft projectile (70) in the launch tube (400) and the light emitted from the light source (500) is reflected by the light reflecting unit onto the soft projectile (70) once it is discharged , thereby illuminating the soft projectile (70).

A novel optically readable identification code and a toy with identification code with which a toy main body can be prevented from having the appearance compromised as much as possible are provided. A toy with identification code 10 includes a toy main body 11 with a surface provided with an identification code portion 12 including an optically readable identification code 13. The identification code 13 includes a plurality of dark color portions and a plurality of light color portions, and a chromatic color having an intensity lower than an intensity of a chromatic color used for the dark color portions is used for the light color portions.

A propeller food plate assembly has a plate component and a propeller component that includes a plurality of propellers that subdivide the plate into a plurality of compartments for holding food during a dining activity. During a different recreational activity, the components rotate when the assembly is thrown and spun in the air. During flight, the components initially engage each other in a torque-transmitting relationship, and subsequently move apart. The propellers have contoured, aerodynamic surfaces configured to enhance an aerodynamic flight characteristic of the assembly, One or more light sources may be mounted on the assembly to emit light.

Systems and methods are presented for operating a self-propelled device. In examples, an indication of a surface color on which the self-propelled device operates is received from one or more optical sensors. A color transition from a first color to a second color may be determined based on the received indication. Based on the determined color transition, an activity may be determined. For example, an activity may cause the self-propelled device to move, emit a sound, or illuminate a light, such as an LED. The determined activity may then be performed. In some examples, a hysteresis band may limit the effects of noise and other variations in the color signal. Accordingly, a color transition may occur when color values associated with the surface color indicated are within a first area but not within a second area.
