Abstract: A toy vehicle track segment is disclosed. The toy vehicle track segment has a first end, a second end, an upper surface, and a plurality of nodes. The upper surface has a pair of parallel recessed rails extending from the first end to the second end. Each rail has an inner wall joined to an outer wall by a base surface. The plurality of nodes are located within at least one of the pair of rails. The nodes are provided for improving traction of a toy vehicle as it traverses along the upper surface. The nodes are located on the base surface and extend along a first direction transverse to the length of the upper surface.

Abstract: A children's playboard of the type comprising a backing having a front surface of a cloth material for adhering figurines thereto and a back surface is disclosed. The children's playboard has a support structure. The support structure is fixedly attached to the playboard and has a pair of spaced bracing members and a pair of connection plates. Each bracing member has a first leg that is detachably joined to one of the pair of connection plates along a hinge. The bracing members are extendable at an angle from the playboard. The bracing members have a second leg and a third leg that are joined at an apex portion. The second leg having a greater length than the third leg. The apex is located between the second and third legs and provides support for the bracing members against a base surface wherein the backing member can be supported in at least two different angles to the base surface.
