Activity box

Abstract

An activity box includes two pairs of wheels having blind holes, two axles having two ends releasably insertable into the blind holes, and a box defining a space having a defined volume sufficiently large to fit the axles. The wheels include a first magnetically attractable component. The axles include a second magnetically attractable component secured at each end of each axle. The axles have a length spanning a width of the box, which has two pairs of through holes on two opposing sides to accommodate the axles, such that the axles are threaded through the through holes. The two pairs of wheels are rotatably attached to the box by magnetically coupling the first magnetically attractable component to the second magnetically attractable component, such that the activity box is configured to be used as a cart that can be rolled over a surface.

         15 . An activity box, comprising:
 a removable panel;   a plurality of components designed to cooperate with each other in order to form a rectangular shape having dimensions sufficiently large enough to occupy about one third of a volume of the activity box;   a magnetic lid having a rim with four magnetic elements embedded therein, the magnetic lid having five different apertures, each aperture shaped to fit a component therethrough,   wherein each component is shaped to fit through only one of the five different apertures.   
     
     
         16 . The activity box of  claim 15 , wherein the removable panel has an opening to facilitate removal of the panel. 
     
     
         17 . The activity box of  claim 15 , wherein the plurality of components has a three-dimensional, geometric shape. 
     
     
         18 . The activity box of  claim 17 , wherein the three-dimensional, geometric shape comprises a sphere, a cube, a cuboid, a cylinder, a triangular pyramid, a square pyramid, a plank, a torus, a triangular prism, a pentagonal prism, a trapezoidal prism, an arch, or any combination thereof.
