Method and apparatus for holiday toy

Abstract

A capsule used for a holiday event is a spherical shaped capsule with a specialized pattern formed on its exterior surfaces. The capsule may be made of plastic and the specialized patterning may be a matzo pattern. A method for using the capsule can be to hide the capsule during a holiday meal or throughout the holiday as part of a game. Prizes can be placed within the capsule having a matzo pattern.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for playing a game with a capsule comprising:
 hiding a spherical capsule during a holiday meal, wherein the spherical capsule comprises;
 a top portion having a top ridge; 
 a bottom portion having a bottom ridge, wherein the bottom ridge is adapted to engage the top ridge, wherein when the top ridge engages the bottom ridge the capsule is secured and forms the spherical capsule, wherein the formed spherical capsule has an interior portion adapted to hold an object; 
 wherein the top portion has a matzo pattern formed thereon and the bottom portion has a matzo pattern formed thereon, wherein the matzo pattern formed on the top portion and the matzo pattern formed on the bottom portion are substantially similar patterns; 
   searching for the spherical capsule;   finding the spherical capsule; and   opening the spherical capsule, wherein within the spherical capsule is the object.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the holiday meal is a Seder. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the spherical capsule takes the place of a afikoman during the Seder. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the matzo pattern is a matzo ball pattern. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the matzo pattern is a matzo pattern. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the top portion and the bottom portion of the spherical capsule are textured. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein when the top ridge engages the bottom ridge of the capsule and forms the spherical capsule, the top ridge and the bottom ridge are not visible from the exterior of the spherical capsule. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the spherical capsule is prefilled with the object. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the top ridge and the bottom ridge of the spherical capsule are magnetic. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the top portion and the bottom portion are made from an edible material. 
     
     
         11 . A capsule comprising;
 a first portion having a first exterior surface and a first interior surface, wherein the first portion comprises a first ridge;   a second portion having a first exterior surface and a second interior surface, wherein the second portion comprises a second ridge, wherein the first ridge of the first portion is adapted to engage with the second ridge of the second portion, wherein when the first portion engages with the second portion a capsule is formed, wherein the interior of the capsule is adapted to hold an object;   wherein the first portion has a first pattern formed on the first exterior surface of the first portion, wherein the first pattern formed on the first exterior surface of the first portion is a matzo pattern; and   wherein the second portion has a second pattern formed on the second exterior surface of the second portion, wherein the second pattern formed on the second exterior surface of the second portion is a matzo pattern.   
     
     
         12 . The capsule of  claim 11 , wherein the capsule is spherical shaped when formed. 
     
     
         13 . The capsule of  claim 11 , wherein the matzo pattern is a matzo ball pattern. 
     
     
         14 . The capsule of  claim 11 , wherein the matzo pattern is a matzo pattern. 
     
     
         15 . The capsule of  claim 11 , wherein the first portion and the second portion of the capsule are textured. 
     
     
         16 . The capsule of  claim 11 , wherein when the first ridge engages the second ridge of the capsule and forms the capsule, the first ridge and the second ridge are not visible from the exterior of the capsule. 
     
     
         17 . The capsule of  claim 11 , wherein the capsule is prefilled with the object. 
     
     
         18 . The capsule of  claim 11 , wherein the first ridge and the second ridge of are magnetic. 
     
     
         19 . The capsule of  claim 11 , wherein at least one of the first portion and the second portion are made from an edible material. 
     
     
         20 . The capsule of  claim 11 , wherein at least one of the first portion and the second portion are scented.
