Abstract: An infant play mat with a flexible central mat portion having a fabric surface that forms a first infant play area and including multiple flexible flaps extending from straight edges of the play mat. The infant play mat has a polygonal perimeter with multiple straight edges, with two of the edges defining a corner therebetween. Multiple flexible flaps extend from a respective one of the perimeter edges and define a fold line. Each flap has an upper flap surface exposed when the flap is extended, and hidden when the play mat is folded at the fold line to cover a region of the central mat portion. The central mat portion and lower surfaces of the flaps together form a second infant play area when the play mat is folded at all of the fold lines. Two of the flaps extend from the two edges to define the corner and are shaped such that, when overlaying the central mat portion, the two flaps do not overlap.

Abstract: An activity box includes two pairs of wheels having blind holes, two axles having two ends releasably insertable into the blind holes, and a box defining a space having a defined volume sufficiently large to fit the axles. The wheels include a first magnetically attractable component. The axles include a second magnetically attractable component secured at each end of each axle. The axles have a length spanning a width of the box, which has two pairs of through holes on two opposing sides to accommodate the axles, such that the axles are threaded through the through holes. The two pairs of wheels are rotatably attached to the box by magnetically coupling the first magnetically attractable component to the second magnetically attractable component, such that the activity box is configured to be used as a cart that can be rolled over a surface.

Abstract: A child development toy including a box and a set of flexible sheets. The box defines an interior compartment and an aperture extending into the interior compartment through a side of the box. Each flexible sheet has a corner with a bounded slit surrounded by material of the sheet configured to receive the corner of another sheet inserted through the slit. The set of sheets is configurable as a chain of sheets. Each two adjacent sheets of the chain is releasably connected by a connection formed by a corner of one of the two adjacent sheets inserted into the slit of the other of the two adjacent sheets.

Abstract: A child play pitcher-container set includes a pitcher and a container that defines an interior volume and an upper rim. The pitcher includes a base upon which the pitcher is supportable, a side wall, and a handle. The side wall extends from the base and forms a spout extending outwardly to a spout tip at an upper edge of the side wall, the spout having an outer surface defining in side view a slope. The handle is secured to the side wall opposite the spout. The outer surface of the spout defines a notch extending across the spout at an elevation along the slope. The notch is configured to interface with the upper rim of the container during pouring of liquid from the pitcher to the container. The interior volume is sufficient to receive all liquid volume containable in the pitcher with the pitcher upright on a horizontal surface.
