Abstract
A multi-layer toy having at least one outer layer adjacent a planar layer or a ball where both the outer layer and the adjacent planar layer or ball each contain related information such that, in play, the information on the outer layer is made to align with the related information on the adjacent planar layer or ball. The information can comprise depictions of objects, things, characters, animals, or words, for a matching game, or the information can comprise numbers for a counting or mental math game. The toy is preferably sized to be hand-held.
Claims20
A toy comprising:
- (a) a ball having a surface at least partially visible;
- (b) an outer covering layer at least partially enclosing the surface of the ball and independently rotatable about the ball, and having at least a portion which is transparent to enable viewing of at least a portion of the surface of the ball, first and second connectors located at opposite first and second poles of the ball and rotatably connecting the cover to the ball at the opposite first and second poles of the ball, wherein the cover rotates about an axis going from the first pole to the second pole;
- and
- (c) a first set of information on the outer covering layer and a second set of information on the surface of the ball related to the first set of information.

A toy comprising:
- (a) a ball having a surface at least partially visible;
- (b) an outer covering layer at least partially enclosing the surface of the ball and independently rotatable about the ball, and having at least a portion which is transparent to enable viewing of at least a portion of the surface of the ball;
- and
- (c) a first set of information on the outer covering layer and a second set of information on the surface of the ball related to the first set of information, wherein the first set of information includes spots, wherein the spots are spaced apart from each other around the axis, wherein the second set of information includes numbers spaced apart from each other around the axis, wherein each number is associated with a respective spot after rotating the cover relative to the ball about the axis, wherein the number associated with the respective spot is located closest to the respective spot.

A toy comprising:
- (a) a ball having a surface at least partially visible;
- (b) an outer covering layer at least partially enclosing the surface of the ball and independently rotatable about the ball, and having at least a portion which is transparent to enable viewing of at least a portion of the surface of the ball, wherein the ball is in one piece, wherein the outer covering layer comprises an upper piece and a lower piece that are removably attached to each other;
- and
- (c) a first set of information on the outer covering layer and a second set of information on the surface of the ball related to the first set of information.
