A photoluminescent writing pad, wherein a) the writing pad is fastened to a back cover of a notebook and arranged to be turned to a writing pad of a page of the notebook, b) the writing pad is arranged to gleam through a writing page thus enabling reading and writing in darkness and c) the writing pad has notches for accommodating a spiral wire, especially spiral or wire or similar binding, of a notebook for securing the writing pad under the page of the notebook to function as an interleaf.

A method of reusing a notebook provides a notebook having a synthetic-paper page. The method also provides a thermochromic ink pen which, when used to write on the synthetic paper page, leaves thermochromic ink markings. The method further provides a moisture carrier configured to have a liquid diffused therein. The moisture carrier is configured to erase the thermochromic ink markings from the synthetic-paper page by contacting the thermochromic ink markings when the moisture carrier is moist. The method then writes with thermochromic ink on at least a portion of the synthetic-paper page. Liquid is diffused in the moisture carrier, and the portion of the synthetic-paper page having the thermochromic ink is wiped with the moist moisture carrier, such that the thermochromic ink is erased from the synthetic-paper page.

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 writing system that includes a reusable notebook including a sheet having a working surface. The working surface includes a printed code and an operative control. The writing system includes a writing instrument configured to capture images of the printed code and a computing device configured to communicate with the reusable notebook and/or the writing instrument. The sheet includes a surface coating over the working surface configured so that a writing material of the writing instrument can be removed by applying a dry ancillary device.

A writing system that includes a reusable notebook including a sheet having a working surface. The working surface includes a printed code including an operative control. The writing system includes a writing instrument configured to capture images of the printed code and a computing device configured to communicate with the reusable notebook and/or the writing instrument. The sheet includes a porous surface located in the working surface. A writing material of the writing instrument comprises solid particles having a particle size greater than a porosity of the porous surface.

A reusable notebook is used with heat-erasable ink. The reusable notebook includes a binding configured to hold a plurality of pages, at least one cover, and at least one ready indicator. The ready indicator is configured to indicate that at least one page in the notebook has reached at least a critical temperature. The critical temperature is a predetermined minimum temperature that is sufficient to erase thermochromic ink on the page(s). The indication occurs when the ready indicator is at a temperature equal to or above a predetermined minimum temperature referred to as the ready temperature. When the ready indicator is at or above the ready temperature, the critical temperature of the at least one page is reached.

An erasable, polymeric paged writing book for small children, with textured, flexible, bordered pages and an internal spine to spread the book flat. The pages have rounded corners. The book closes by hook-and-loop tab. The pages have a smaller profile than the covers, for resistance to wear and distortion. A fold-away pocket holds chalk and grease pencils. Optionally, a pleated storage compartment is on one of the covers. The pages have a smaller profile than the covers, for resistance to wear and distortion.

Various entertainment systems, that include a blanket, along with a flexible book that is removably attachable to the blanket, are described. Such flexible books may include a flexible cover and disposed within the flexible cover may be at least one flexible page. The flexible book may be constructed from a fabric. In some embodiments, the blanket may comprise at least one pocket for removable storage of the flexible book. In some embodiments, the blanket may be folded in half, creating a folder, wherein this folder may be used to removably store the flexible book. And irrespective of such flexible book storage with the blanket, the flexible book may be removably attached to the blanket using mechanical fasteners. Additionally, methods of use and methods of manufacturing for such blankets and flexible books are described, disclosed, and taught.

A booklet includes a cover including an integrally formed front cover sheet and a rear cover sheet connected by a hinge fold around which the front cover sheet is pivoted relative to the rear cover between a closed position and an open position, and at least first and second leaves therein. Each leaf includes at least one integrally formed leaf sheet and spine sheet connected together at a hinge fold. Upon pivoting the front cover sheet between a closed position and an open position, the interior leaves move relative to the front cover sheet and a step display tab area on each interior leaf is progressively revealed. A method of forming the booklet is also disclosed.
