Claim 1

A device comprising a pair of superimposed pliable plastic sheets having a continuous seal-forming interconnection therebetween along their respective peripheral edges forming an inner, liquid-filled sealed chamber, one of said sheets constituting a top sheet and being transparent and pliable so as to be pressable toward the other sheet, at least one movable article in said chamber of a thickness less than the spacing between the uncompressed sheets so that said article is suspended for movement in said chamber, said liquid being movable by manipulating the device to cause movement of said movable article in said chamber, the position of said movable article being fixable in position by pressing said pliable top transparent sheet toward the other with the fingers to trap said article between said sheets, and graphics on said other sheet which corresponds in shape and size to said movable article and presents a readily discernible outline corresponding in size and shape to that of said movable article so that the margins of said movable article can be aligned with the margins of said graphics by manipulating said device before said sheet is pressed to trap the article when aligned with said graphics.
