A toy loom allows for children to hold warp threads under tension to facilitate the interweaving of the threads. Resulting weaves can be collected and/or used for play. The toy loom also includes metallic beads, a premium metal charm, lots of clips and clasps, and different colored threads. The toy loom helps children learn different techniques to make a variety of textured and colorful bracelets and necklaces.

A device for cutting and bending a hollow elongate tube. A measuring subassembly is adapted for measuring a desired size of the tube. A cutting subassembly is adapted for cutting the tube to the desired size. A bending subassembly is adapted for bending the cut tube to a desired angular orientation. The bending subassembly includes a base controlling a radius of a bend to be formed in the cut hollow elongate tube, and a user grippable handle. The user grippable handle is configured to enable a user to rotate the cut hollow elongate tube, relative to the round base, to form the bend in the cut hollow elongate tube.

Apparatus and methods for safe-heated transformation of one or more two- or three-dimensional craft objects (FIG. 1). A color or symbol coded push-button control panel allows for the execution of a complete cycle of use for a particular craft object with little or no opportunity for operator error. For example, pressing a single button would control the temperature, time of heating, time of cool down, and locking of the access door to the heated object until after the cool down period is complete, thereby providing for effective and safe completion of a correspondingly coded craft object.

A light-sabre type accessory comprises a tubular blade including a tube with a proximal end and a distal end. The accessory also includes a handle having a sleeve with first and second ends, into which is inserted a control unit controlling at least one lighting source lighting the tubular blade. A system for removably fixing the tubular blade on the handle through its proximal end includes a mouthpiece fitted to the proximal end of the tube and a clamping ring engaged to be fitted onto the mouthpiece and fixed to the first end of the sleeve. The mouthpiece also includes a shoulder able to abut against the first end of the sleeve and the sleeve includes, from its first end, a well in which the mouthpiece is engaged up to its shoulder, the clamping ring being engaged from the distal end of the tube to be fitted onto the mouthpiece.

A gift that includes a box, which presents a humorous or thoughtful interplay between the box and the contents within the box. Instead of jewelry, the box contains a figurine that resembles a person, pulling down his or her pants to expose his or her nude posterior. The box also contains a speaker that audibly presents the sound of a flatulent when the box is opened.

A toy apparatus includes a base piece and a plurality of elongated members. The base piece is configured to slide on a surface. Each elongated member has a first end and a second end, with the elongated members being movably coupled to the base piece near the first ends. A tether is coupled to the first ends of the elongated members, and tension applied to the tether moves the elongated members from a first position to a second position. In the first position, the second ends of the elongated members are expanded apart from each other. In the second position, the second ends of the elongated members are contracted toward each other and are capable of surrounding a target piece.

Embodiments described provide an integrated hand-held catch net apparatus including a multi-axis sensor in electrical communication with a microcontroller and memory module to provide a plurality of colored light schemes and pre-programmed sounds/songs in responds to movement and tilting of the apparatus. Further included is a light toy figurine releasably attached to the catch net assembly to simulate capture both a fish or insect.

A multi-stage toy walker includes at least a handle, a base, and a configurable component that is adjustable from a folded-flat configuration to at least one of a seat-shaped configuration and a basket-shaped configuration.
