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.

1. A thermally erasable bath toy for enabling a user to create and erase drawing figures in a wet environment, the bath toy comprising:a drawing desk; a non-electrical drawing surface disposed on the drawing desk; a thermochromic material disposed over at least a portion of the drawing surface wherein the thermochromic material has an active temperature range wherein the thermochromic material will demonstrate a change in color at least from a first color to a second color; and a means for enabling the drawing desk to float atop a volume of water; whereby a user can induce a change in color in the thermochromic material at least from a first color to a second color by inducing the thermochromic material to enter its active temperature range so that a user can create drawing figures on the drawing surface and whereby the thermochromic material will exhibit a change in color at least from the second color back to the first color as the thermochromic material leaves its active temperature range whereby the drawing figures can be erased from the drawing surface by a submersion of the drawing surface in the volume of water.
