A bottle puzzle used as a training or learning tool for children and adults with cognitive disabilities has puzzle pieces with uniquely shaped concave and convex walls, with only one wall in one puzzle piece matching another wall in a different puzzle piece. Each puzzle piece is a fully contained compartment capable of holding and dispensing beverages. When the puzzle pieces are put together, they form a normal bottle that can be filled with beverages.

The Letter Cubes are block to make buildings that do not just make a statement with their rooms, walls and the like, but also make verbal statements with the blocks themselves. It has a series of three-dimensional fonts made with metal, plastic, ceramic, glass, recycled materials and other materials that magnetically, with knobs, hooks, snaps and tubes (and combinations of these and other interfaces) assemble into walls, buildings and other structures that communicate messages. These alphabets also have a series of related pieces that include numbers, punctuation and additional knobs, beams and panels that enable construction of a wide range of buildings, toys, structures and objects that are artistic, toys, games and that are otherwise useful as boxes, chairs, tables, etc. The invention comes in its own box that is assembled further to the same logic as the alphabets so it does not have packaging waste.

The invention relates to producing kits for games and souvenirs. The invention consists in a node for connecting moving elements thereof in order to perform a connecting action using two groups of components. A first group of components and a second group of components are connected by means of inserting protrusions, which are positioned along opposing edges of at least two individual components of the second group, in at least two rectangular connecting apertures of one of the individual components of the first group, and which are disposed symmetrically relative to a central aperture on each of the individual components of the first group. The second group of components contains at least two individual components which are made in the form of symmetrical pairs. The result consists in the fastest and most-reliable assembly of the node.

A three dimensional puzzle (10) is disclosed. Puzzle (10) has having a plurality of three dimensional first components (12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22 and 24) for engagement to form a three-dimensional finished shape (10), each of the three-dimensional first components (12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22 and 24) being shaped for interlocking engagement with at least one other of the three-dimensional first components (12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24). At least one of the three-dimensional first components (20, 22, 24) is made in two parts (20a, 20b, 22a, 22b, 24a, 24b) adapted to be joined together by engagement different from the interlocking engagement. Also disclosed is a three dimensional puzzle (10) in which the three-dimensional finished shape (10) has an outer surface containing a three-dimensional pattern (52), which can enhance optional overmoulding.

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.

An object is to provide, in place of a cube toy such as Yoshimoto Cube, a wide variety of playing patterns, playing patterns which cannot be predicted in terms of change in forms, a polyhedral toy which can be enjoyed in terms of change in form even when only one polyhedral toy is used, and a polyhedral toy having extensibility for achieving a wide variety of contents of play through combination of two or more polyhedral toys. Therefore, when a polyhedral piece (U1) forming the toy is formed with three quadrangular pyramids (G1 to G3) having, among six triangular faces (T1 to T6) of a cube (R), three faces (R1 to R3) as bottom faces, the polyhedral piece (U1) includes a triangle surface (10) formed of six triangular faces (T1 to T6) other than respective side faces of the quadrangular pyramids (G1 to G3) placed on one another. When polyhedral pieces (U1 to U8) each having the configuration described above form a toy (1) unfolded into a cuboid shape of two rows and four columns as illustrated in FIG. 1, in plan view on a top face of the toy (1), in each of the first row and the second row, the triangle surface (10), the third face (R3), the third face (R3), and the triangle surface (10) are arranged in the stated order.

An apparatus for playing a game comprises a three dimensional structure assembled from a plurality of interconnectable and disengageable construction elements. Each construction element is a shaped elongate body piece with two end mating faces or surfaces. Each mating surface has a male or female connector or two female orifices plus a four way male connector to enable each construction element to connect to and disengage other like construction elements. The interconnection between two contacting faces or surfaces is allowable in one orientation only.
