Abstract: The toy system has a liquid degradable component used to obscure a hidden component that is release or revealed upon application of a liquid on the liquid degradable component. The toy may resemble the blooming of a plant to reveal a doll or figuring for further enjoyment after it is revealed to the user.

Abstract: The toy has a liquid degradable membrane extending over the opening of a hollow containment device. The membrane maintains a compressible component, such as a layer foam, in the device in its compressed state. A structure such as a doll supports the compressed component in the containment device, which may take the form of a plant pot. In a preferred embodiment, the compressed foam will expand through the plane of the membrane when contacted by the liquid after it passes through the membrane. An applicator may be provided to facilitate the application of the liquid to the membrane.

Abstract: The interactive toy has a body and means for attaching the body to an object including a part of the user's body, clothing or the like. The body includes a rigid hollow plastic shell with a variety of external touch sensors. The shell contains and protects the electronic components, including a micro-controller connected to the sensors, and to a speaker, vibrator and LED light sources. A fabric layer covers the shell. The attaching means takes the form of a tail. The tail includes a pliable wire encased in a fabric layer. One end of the wire is fixed to the shell such that the tail extends from the back of the body and can be configured to engage an object to support the toy. The toy generates various sounds and lights in response to the sensor outputs.
