Abstract: An aerial toy includes a body and a wing. The body has a spine mated with a frontal portion. An upper edge of the spine is planar in a single plane at least in the vicinity where the spine mates with the frontal portion. The frontal portion is enlarged relative to the spine. The frontal portion has a top surface that is aligned with the plane of the spine. The wing extends downwardly from and is coupled to the spine adjacent the frontal portion, but is not coupled to the frontal portion. An aerial toy system includes a launching tool.

Abstract: A puppet of any size can hold a book of any size. The system requires an attachment method that connects the arms of the puppet to the cover of the book. The preferred embodiment envisions slots near the edge of the book cover that the arms of the puppet fit into. The end of the arms of the puppet has a fastener which folds around the edge of the book, allowing the puppet to grip the book. The only limitation is that the puppet's arms must be able to reach to the edge of the cover of the book.

Abstract: A puppet system consisting of puppet, or other first body, able to fit within an opening or hole in an second object. The first object has straps that are attached on both ends to the first object. At least one end of the strap is reversibly attachable. The strap is able to fit in second openings in the second objects and then re-attached to the first object securing the first objects to the second object in a loose but secure manner. A preferred embodiment is use of a puppet as the first object and a book cover as the second object so that an operator can use one to both support the book cover and operate the puppet.
