Collapsible structures are provided with enhancements and other features that impart additional utility or amusement value to the basic underlying structure. The collapsible structure has at least one foldable frame member having a folded and an unfolded orientation, and with a fabric material covering portions of the frame member to form a panel when the frame member is in the unfolded orientation. An electrical component can attached to the fabric material, and an electrical coupling connected to the electrical component. Alternatively, a two-dimensional or three-dimensional object can be attached to the fabric material.

What is claimed is: 1. A collapsible keyboard, comprising: a foldable frame member having a folded and an unfolded orientation, with a fabric material covering portions of the frame member to form a panel when the frame member is in the unfolded orientation; a cable extending from the panel; a plurality of touch sensors provided on the panel; and an electrical coupling that couples the touch sensors to the cable; wherein the frame member is twisted and folded to its folded orientation reduce the overall size of the frame member. 2. The structure of claim 1, wherein the electrical coupling includes at least one conductive path. 3. The structure of claim 1, wherein the electrical coupling includes at least one wire. 4. The structure of claim 3, further including a sleeve attached to the fabric material for retaining a portion of the at least one wire. 5. The structure of claim 1, further including a frame retaining sleeve coupled to the fabric material for retaining the frame member. 6. A collapsible keyboard, comprising: a foldable frame member having a folded and an unfolded orientation, with a fabric material covering portions of the frame member to form a panel when the frame member is in the unfolded orientation; a cable extending from the panel; a plurality of touch sensors provided on the panel; an electrical coupling that couples the touch sensors to the cable, the electrical coupling including at least one wire; and a sleeve attached to the fabric material for retaining a portion of the at least one wire.
