Abstract: A game includes a plurality of sets of components, each set including a string, a mounting member stationarily attachable to a playing surface and connected to one end of the string, and a body having first and second opposed ends. The string slidably passes through an aperture formed adjacent the first end of the body. The body is formed or coated with a high friction material to engage the underlying playing surface without slippage. The second end of the string is freely supported by a player. Repeated tensioning and untensioning of the string by a player causes the body to progressively advance in a stepwise manner toward the second end of the string.

Abstract: A simulated three-dimensional night sky kit for a substantially flat surface includes a plurality of groups of discrete star-shaped bodies. Each of the bodies is a rigid, planar member formed of a plastic material exhibiting phosphorescent properties. The number of bodies forming each of the plurality of groups of bodies and the tip-to-tip dimensions of the bodies of each group of bodies varies substantially between the groups of bodies to provide a simulated three-dimensional night sky when the groups of bodies are mounted in a random distribution on a substantially flat surface. Each body includes a mounting arrangement formed of a resilient foam pad, a permanent adhesive layer bonding the pad to the body, and a releasable adhesive layer on an opposite surface of the pad to releasably mount the body and the pad to a surface.

Abstract: A rotatable disk string toy has two planar disks rotatably mounted on a continuous loop of string. A holder in the form of two connected rings is mounted on each other end of the loop of string to facilitate handling of the toy. The holder includes a first ring having a central aperture for receiving the fingers of the user. A second ring is mounted on one edge of the first ring and extends outward from the first ring. The second ring has a central aperture which slidably receives one end of the loop of string therethrough.
