Abstract: An erasable coloring device includes erasable material upon which a user can color and guide indicia which a user uses to guide the user in coloring an area on the erasable material to be colored by the user. In several embodiments, such coloring device includes outline indicia permanently printed on the erasable material to outline areas to be colored by a user. Similar indicia is permanently printed with outline areas colored in to serve as the guide for a user coloring the outline indicia. The device can take the form of a coloring book wherein, when the book is open, the outline indicia appears on one page of the book and the similar indicia appears on the facing page so that a user can see both the outline indicia and the similar indicia simultaneously. Text can be included in the book as desired to explain the outline indicia or to tell a story where the outline indicia represents pictures connected with the story.

Abstract: A spill resistant lid includes a sealing bead in pressure contact with the inside wall of a container to be closed when the lid is in sealing position with respect to the container to substantially seal the container. The lid includes a first cylindrical wall and a second cylindrical wall spaced apart to form a receiving channel for the top of a container to be sealed. A ridge extends into the channel from the first cylindrical wall to hold the lid in place. The sealing bead extends into the channel from the second cylindrical wall. A central lid portion closes the area inside the second cylindrical wall and applies sealing pressure to the bead. In a preferred embodiment a third cylindrical wall in the central lid portion is joined to the second cylindrical wall by a web.

Abstract: A spill resistant lid is adapted to be removably and securely attached to an open-topped beverage container. The lid is formed with a generally cylindrical wall and floor which define a closure member over the beverage container when the lid is placed thereon. The floor of the closure member includes a liquid dispensing hole located in or adjacent the cylindrical wall, and a pressure equalization hole diagonally opposite the liquid dispensing hole. In order to aid a user in locating the liquid dispensing hole solely by feel, as in total darkness, the lid includes a generally semi-funnel shaped dispensing spout formed in the generally cylindrical wall in radial alignment with, and adjacent, the liquid dispensing hole. The floor defining the closure member of the lid is inclined downwardly toward the liquid dispensing hole, so that any residual liquid left in the reservoir will gravity drain back into the beverage container.
