A thermally erasable bath toy for enabling a user to create and erase
drawing figures in a wet environment. The bath toy includes a drawing desk
with a drawing surface that incorporates thermochromic material. A user
can draw on the drawing surface by inducing the thermochromic material to
enter its active temperature range, and the user can erase the drawing
surface by inducing the thermochromic material to leave its active
temperature range. The drawing desk can be caused to float atop a volume
of water by incorporating or being formed of buoyant material or by
housing an open inner volume. The color change in the thermochromic
material can be induced by a temperature-operated drawing implement with a
temperature applicator of heat transmissible material. The temperature
applicator can include an elongate shaft that will act as a skeleton for a
volume of insulative material. A weight at a proximal end of the shaft can
help maintain a given temperature condition and cause a drawing tip to
point out of a volume of water. Heat transmissible material can be
retained in an open inner volume of the drawing implement. The heat
transmissible material can be sealed within the drawing implement,
retained within a removable hollow sheath, or inserted and evacuated
through an opening in the open inner volume.
