Toy using water reactive paper

Claim 2

A toy comprising a sheet of water reactive paper, a frame having display area for receiving said sheet of water reactive paper, a well for receiving water, and at least one accessory for wetting the surface of said paper in a selected design, said accessory comprising a water pen having a cylindrical tube terminating in a tip on one end and sealed on the other end, said cylinder holding water, and said tip releasing water in quantities which are appropriate for writing on a surface of said reactive paper.

Claim 3

The toy of claim 1 and a slot in said frame for inserting said water reactive paper into and removing it from said display area.

Claim 4

The toy of claim 1 wherein said water reactive paper is a colored substrate having a surface which becomes transparent when wet in order to let the color of said substrate be seen and which becomes opaque when dry to cover said color.

Claim 5

The toy of claim 1 wherein said water reactive paper comprises a surface coating that includes silica and resin.

Claim 6

The toy of claim 1 wherein said water reactive paper is a sheet of PVC coated with a combination of silica and resin.

Claim 7

The toy of claim 1 wherein said water reactive paper has characteristics which retains said color when said paper is frozen.

Claim 8

A toy comprising at least one sheet means for reacting to water by displaying a graphic image in a shape and pattern of water applied to the surface thereof, said sheet means comprising a colored substrate and a layer integrally formed over at least a portion of said substrate, said layer being opaque when dry and transparent when wet whereby said color of said substrate shows through said layer only when said layer is wet, a water pen having a cylindrical tube terminating in a tip on one end and sealed on the other end, said cylinder holding water and said tip releasing water in quantities which are appropriate for writing on said layer for selectively wetting said layer in a desired pattern during play with said toy, and retainer means for holding said sheet means during at least part of a play time with said game.

Claim 9

A toy comprising at least one sheet means for reacting to water by displaying a graphic image in a shape and pattern of water applied to the surface thereof, said sheet means comprising a colored substrate and a layer integrally formed over at least a portion of said substrate, said layer being opaque when dry and transparent when wet whereby said color of said substrate shows through said layer only when said layer is wet, a water pen having a cylindrical tube terminating in a tip on one end and sealed on the other end, said cylinder holding water and said tip releasing water in quantities which are appropriate for writing on said layer for selectively wetting said layer in a desired pattern during play with said toy, and retainer means for holding said sheet means during at least part of a play time with said game.

Claim 10

A toy comprising at least one sheet means wherein said sheet is PVC coated with a combination of silica and resin for reacting to water by displaying a graphic image in a shape and pattern of water applied to the surface thereof, said sheet means comprising a colored substrate and a layer integrally formed over at least a portion of said substrate, said layer being opaque when dry and transparent when wet whereby said color of said substrate shows through said layer only when said layer is wet, at least one game piece for selectively wetting said layer in a desired pattern during play with said toy, and retainer means for holding said sheet means during at least part of a play time with said game.

Claim 11

A toy comprising at least one sheet means wherein said sheet is PVC coated with a combination of silica and resin for reacting to water by displaying a graphic image in a shape and pattern of water applied to the surface thereof, said sheet means comprising a colored substrate and a layer integrally formed over at least a portion of said substrate, said layer being opaque when dry and transparent when wet whereby said color of said substrate shows through said layer only when said layer is wet, at least one game piece for selectively wetting said layer in a desired pattern during play with said toy, and retainer means for holding said sheet means during at least part of a play time with said game.
