A foldable article having a sliceform removably secured to one or more panels of the foldable article. A tab having a retaining portion may extend from at least one of the one or more panels of the foldable article. The tab may pass through an opening in the sliceform and the retaining portion may be wider than the width of the opening. The retaining member may be manipulated to pass through the opening to removably secure the sliceform to, and/or detach the sliceform from, the foldable article.

The present invention relates to a dynamic three-dimensional teaching aid that allows for alphabet teaching or storytelling for infants or children in diversified manners by dynamic movement of a teaching member with teaching content when the teaching member is moved, thereby stimulating indefinite curiosity and imagination of infants and children, meeting their learning ability, arousing interest not to be bored and to appear novel despite repeated use, and letting them actively participate in and focus on learning and that has a simplified structure, is easy to manipulate, and is accurately controllable for its movement. More specifically, the dynamic three-dimensional teaching aid is configured so that a first magnet 23 is moved under a teaching board 1 by a control rod 2, and a moving block 3 coupled with a teaching member 4 is placed, which includes an attractive force element to be attracted by the first magnet 23 and a second magnet 32, on a side of the attractive force element, to exert a repulsive force to the first magnet 23 to be rotated depending on changes in the moving direction.

An openable structure, such as a greeting card or book, with a body, a cam lift mechanism, and at least one decorative element fixed to tab portions of the cam lift mechanism extending through cam slots in the body. The cam lift mechanism is actuatable by pivoting subpanels of the body away from each other. Pivoting of one of the subpanels causes lateral movement of a cam lever, which then pulls an extended arm portion of a rotating portion of the cam lift mechanism, causing the rotating portion to rotate about a primary axle. The cam slots guide the decorative elements radially outward or radially inward toward the primary axle upon rotation of the cam lift mechanism, causing the decorative elements to pop up or extend outward from the body.

A toy is disclosed. The toy includes a two-sided frame. The two-sided frame has a first side configured to hold a set of images and a second side includes an acrylic mirror. The toy further includes a stand configured to hold the two-sided frame. The stand has two notches opposite each other.

A child's toy transformable between a book position and a ball position, including a pair of end covers which each have round outer surfaces and planar inner cover surfaces, and a plurality of disc-shaped pages that have opposed circular planar surfaces with viewable indicia thereon. At least one flexible hinge in operative connection with each end cover and each page. In the ball position, the planar inner cover surfaces are in opposed facing relation and the plurality of disc-shaped pages are in abutting sandwiched relation therebetween. A releasable clasp may be engaged to hold the covers and pages in the ball position so the toy is readily rollable, and the clasp may be released to transform the toy to the book position in which the end covers are disposed away from one another and pages are individually movable to view indicia thereon.

A tummy time promotion device may include a center panel, a first panel attached at a first angle to the center panel, and a second panel attached at a second angle to the center panel. The device may also include a mirror operatively attached to the center panel and a first visual stimulus element operatively attached to the first panel. Additional visual stimulus elements may be included on additional panels. In some configurations, the tummy time promotion device will have an intersection point of the center panel, the first panel, and the second panel at approximately 7-12 inches from the center panel.

A customizable book allows the integration of animation aids to engage readers and encourage them to interact with the story. The animation aids include a fire hose bubble blowing, puppet attachments, and apertures are configured to frame the face of a child and create the appearance of the child’s face being in the book. A user can stand behind the book and align their face with the aperture so that it creates the appearance to other viewers that the user is in the story. The pages of the story may include illustrations to create the appearance that the user’s face is positioned on top of a character’s body in the story. Puppet attachments may also be used with the book, and the puppet’s hands can be manipulated through hand apertures to create an appearance of a moving figure on the page of the book. The firehose bubble blowing may be used with the book by attaching a front nozzle of the bubble blowing to the book through an aperture, to create an appearance of bubbles being produced by a page of the book.
