Abstract: A magnet is embedded in a flexible elastic material, providing a means of temporarily connecting the flexible elastic material to ferromagnetic objects. A rigid cup provides a container for anchoring the magnet in the flexible elastic material. The cup also provides a structure to bind with the flexible elastic material. The magnet rests in the base of the cup, which extends past the surface of the material, allowing the magnet's forces to extend outside the base of the cup. The remainder of the cup resides within the material.

Abstract: A play construction kit includes modules, connector parts and a storage box. The modules may be sized so that a child or adult requires two hands to move a module while in another embodiment, the modules may be sized so a small child can play with the modules at a desk or somewhere inside a room. The modules are either primary modules or secondary modules. Primary modules have at least one full aperture or at least one half-aperture. The primary modules have an aperture diameter that ranges in size but is sufficient to allow the connector part to pass through. The connector part may fit in any aperture diameter with or without friction. Secondary modules serve to support or work with said primary modules or connector parts.

Abstract: In at least one embodiment, the invention includes a magnetic construction module having a body and at least one elastic limb extending from the body, the at least one limb having a first end portion including a first magnet disposed therein, the limb and the body comprising a gelatinous elastic material having sufficient stiffness to maintain its form under the force of gravity and having sufficient flexibility to easily bend such that the end portion is contiguous to the body.
