An assemblable story and picture display may include a plurality of substrates combinable to resemble an object. The assemblable story and picture display may define an outer profile that may resemble an apple, banana, duck, egg, Christmas tree, or any other relatively simple object. Each of the plurality of substrates may define a portion of the outer profile making up the assemblable story and picture display. Each of the plurality of substrates may include a portion of a story or images wherein the story is conveyed sequentially across the plurality of substrates. The assemblable story and picture display may further include an outer decorative image or layer. The assembled story and picture display may include exterior decorative elements indicating the nature of the story depicted on each of the story or display layers.

An article is moveable between a first position and a second position and biased to the second position. The article is retained in the first position by retaining means until a predetermined condition is met and when met, the biasing means are released to move the article from the first position to the second position. The predetermined condition is met when at least one formation of a plurality of formations located with respect to at least one face of the article is moved from a first position to a second position, thereby releasing the retaining means. The article further includes user selection means to allow the user to select which one, or combination, of the plurality of formations, when moved, will cause the release of the retaining means.

The invention relates to a construction unit configured to interlock with other construction units to create a variety of different shapes.

A three-dimensional puzzle comprising a plurality of cuboid puzzle blocks together forming a predetermined three-dimensional puzzle shape, wherein each puzzle block comprises either a male or a female connecting element on each of at least three sides of the puzzle block; wherein the connecting elements for the respective puzzle block are configured such that each puzzle block is unique.

Toys that comply with at least American Society for Testing and Materials educational and safety standards are provided. Embodiments include grasping toys, rattle toys, rolling drum toys, shape fitting toys, and hex with ball toys.

A three-dimensional logic puzzle is provided. The puzzle includes a plurality of identically shaped puzzle components of an irregular form. Each puzzle component is configured to engage with another identically shaped puzzle component via projections and recesses formed on the sides of the puzzle components. The plurality of puzzle components are interengagably assembled into the form of a predetermined three-dimensional geometric shape.

The present invention provides a connecting structure for plate members, including a projection projected from one of the plate members in a first direction, and a groove provided on the other of the plate members to have inner faces facing each other in a second direction intersecting the first direction and configured to fittingly receive the projection. The projection includes a main body, a resilient portion provided on one side of the main body in the second direction and resiliently inwardly deformable in the second direction, and an engagement portion outwardly expanded in the second direction from the resilient portion and configured to be plastically deformed along and engage with one of the inner faces of the groove when the groove fittingly receives the projection.
