Apparatus and method of building a toy or playing a game with a three-dimensional housing or case. The housing may resemble a person or individual or some other three-dimensional design such as a vehicle, plant, animal etc. The housing may include a plurality of holes passing through the housing. The apparatus may include a power supply and a light source within the housing wherein the holes allow the light to pass through the housing. A user may place pegs, which may be colored, within the holes to create a colorful figure that may resemble a predetermined design or a design the user individually creates.
1. A toy comprising:
a rigid housing resembling a person comprising:
a first member and a second member, wherein the first and second members each comprise:
a first base and a second base,
a first leg extending from the first base and a second leg extending from the second base;
a body extending from both the first leg and second leg;
a head extending from the body;
a first arm and a second arm extending from the body; and
a first engagement member hingedly connecting the first member to the second member, and
a plurality of apertures passing through the housing, each aperture configured to receive a peg.
2. The toy of claim 1 comprising: a central member positioned between the first member and second member comprising a second engagement member configured to engage the first member and the second member wherein a first void is positioned between the central member and the first member and a second void is positioned between the central member and the second member.
3. The toy of claim 2 , wherein the first engagement member and the second engagement member combine to form a hinge to allow the first member and second member to rotate about the hinge toward or away from one another.
4. The toy of claim 3 comprising: a power supply integral to the central member.
5. The toy of claim 4 comprising: at least one light powered by the power supply.
6. The toy of claim 1 , wherein the pegs are colored.
7. The toy of claim 1 further comprising apertures and a power supply and at least one light powered by the power supply, wherein the light passes through the apertures.
8. A system comprising:
a three-dimensional rigid housing substantially shaped like a human figure comprising:
a first base and a second base,
a first leg extending from the first base and a second leg extending from the second base;
a body extending from both the first leg and second leg;
a head extending from the body, wherein at least a portion of the head is hingedly connected to the body at a neck;
a first arm and a second arm extending from the body;
a central member within the housing; and
a plurality of apertures passing through the housing, each aperture configured to receive a peg.
9. The system of claim 8 further comprising a space between the central member and the housing.
10. The system of claim 9 the central member further comprising a power supply and at least one light wherein the power supply provides power to the at least one light.
11. The system of claim 10 the housing further comprising a plurality of apertures passing through the housing configured to allow light to pass through the apertures.
12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the at least one light comprises light emitting diodes.
13. The system of claim 10 , wherein the power supply comprises a battery pack.
14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the power supply comprises an electrical wire connected to a plug and also connect to the at least one light wherein when the wire is plugged into an electrical socket the at least one light turns on.
