Stress reduction kit

Claim 1

A novelty stress reduction kit for allowing a user to relieve stress and for providing a source of whimsical entertainment comprising, in combination: a rigid square box-shaped container having a planar bottom wall and four planar side walls extended upwards from the periphery of the bottom wall to define a hollow interior and a top edge bounding an opening to the interior; a rigid square planar lid hingeably coupled to the container, the lid having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a periphery interconnecting the surfaces, the lid positionable over the opening and in contact with the top edge of the container for preventing access therein and further positionable away from the opening for allowing such access; a set of square sheets of bubble-type packing material, the sheets positionable in stacked registered relation to define a deck and with the deck snugly positionable within the interior of the container with the lid closeable thereover, the set of sheets including a first subset, a second subset, and a third subset of sheets, the sheets of the first subset each formed of plastic having a first characteristic color, the sheets of the second subset each formed of plastic having a second characteristic color and a resilience greater than the sheets of the first subset, and the sheets of the third subset formed of a plastic having a third characteristic color and a resilience greater than the sheets of the second subset, each sheet of the set having a plurality of hand-burstable air-filled bubbles formed thereon in sequences of rows and with each bubble thereon having a generally horizontal circular cross-section, each bubble on the sheets of the first subset having a diameter less than those on the sheets of the second subset, each bubble on the sheets of the second subset having a diameter less than those on the sheets of the third subset; a square instruction sheet having an upper surface and a lower surface with a layer of adhesive applied thereto and with the lower surface adhered to the lower surface of the lid, the instruction sheet bearing three rectangles with one rectangle having a first characteristic color, another rectangle having a second characteristic color, and the remaining rectangle having a third characteristic color and with the rectangles defining a color code indication, the instruction sheet further bearing a paragraph associated with each colored rectangle describing a type of stress, whereby a user determines the type of stress currently being experienced and notes the associated color, selects a sheet with the same color as the noted color, and then bursts the bubbles on the sheet for relieving the stress.
