FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention relates to a lightweight fold-able toy. More particularly the invention relates to a fold-able play toy or a compact structure. Also, the present invention relates to a fold-able three-dimensional structure that is stored in a play mat that folds into a bag which easy to carry, is light weight and comprises of flip-able characters and other elements.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
Toys for children are items specifically designed for kids' playtime. They play a crucial role in fostering children's imagination, reasoning, and other psychological processes through physical activity. By using toys, children can improve their motor skills, enhance their sensory perception, stimulate their imagination and curiosity, and promote their physical and mental development.
As the quality of life for people improves, toys are becoming increasingly important in children's lives. Their appearance has evolved from simple designs to more realistic ones. However, some toys still have outdated designs and lack variety, and may pose a risk to children due to their weight and material composition.
There are various proposals in the market for toy houses that use different folding techniques and materials. However, there is a current need for a lightweight, easy-to-carry, easy-to-fold toy house made of non-toxic materials for children to play with.
One of the invention US 11,000,773B2 discloses An invertible interactive toy structure comprising a series of adjacent fold-able segments that can be assembled by folding in either of two different directions and joined at its outer edges to form a self - standing toy structure. When folded in one direction, the assemble structure displays its outside features. When folded in the opposite direction, the assembled structure displays its inside features. Figures which correspond to the indicia on the walls of the structure are provided. The figures are removably affixed to corresponding indicia on the walls of the toy structure. In a particular embodiment, the structure is a barn and the inside features represent various items or scenes associated with farming.
Another invention US 5,423,709 discloses a fold-able, collapsible doll house having a first fold-able frame section, a second fold-able section forming a partitioned attic, and a third fold-able roof section. The three fold-able sections are fastened together in such a manner as to provide a model doll house which is easily constructed or taken apart.
However, no prior art overcomes the problem of a lightweight, fold-able book like toy house with characters which are invertible for children to play. Present invention focuses on such a problem with a folding book like toy structure which comes in a folded in a play-mat along with a pouch that stores the characters, furniture and other elements.

The folded toy structure is placed on the base mat, which is further folded to form a light weight carry case and pouch (3) is now attached to the shoulder strap using a clip. The toy structure can be converted from folded form to unfolded form and vice- versa instantly, safely and without any additional tools.
The disclosure will now be illustrated with working examples, which is intended to illustrate the working of disclosure and not intended to take restrictively to imply any limitations on the scope of the present disclosure. Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood to one of ordinary skill in the art which this disclosure belongs.

Example 1: Opening of the lightweight fold-able toy.
A child of any age group can operate the lightweight fold-able toy. The toy is in the form of carry case (9) at first which comprises of a shoulder strap and handle to carry the toy structure anywhere. A child will first open the Velcro (1B) of the carry case (9) which is binding the toy together in form of carry case (9) as disclosed in figure 1. Once the child opens the Velcro (1B) of the carry case (9) the two vertical portions of the carry case (9) opens up as shown in figure 2B. The child can unclip the additional pouch (3) from the shoulder strap shown in figure 2A which comprises of different compartments (4,5) for storage of different characters, furniture, comic books and other elements. The child will keep the pouch aside for further opening of the toy structure. The horizontal portion of base mat is opened from left to right which opens the carry case turns into a base mat (9) where children can place their structure and begin play. On opening the horizontal portions (6,7) as shown in figure 3 the fold-able three-dimensional toy structure (8) is revealed. The children will first lift the toy structure (8) and place it in upright position on the base mate (9). After placing it in the upright position children will first open the Velcro (10) of the three-dimensional toy structure (8). After opening the Velcro (10) the toy comprises of 4 vertical flaps, one of left, one on right and two in center. The vertical elements (13,14,15,16) are to be opened like doors, therein revealing the horizontal floors (24,25,26). As shown in figure 4, all the floor flaps comprise of holes through which a stretchable material (17) like elastic passes which becomes easier for children to open and can stretch the toy as needed. The vertical elements (13,14,15,16) are to be opened like doors, therein revealing the horizontal floors (24,25,26). It forms a “L” shaped structure on the base mat as shown in figure 6. Now children can place their furniture or characters (30) or other elements which were present in the pouch (3) on the floor elements (24, 25, 26) or below the floor elements to start paly as shown in figure 7 and 8. The characters (30) are flip-able which consists of one character on one side and a totally different character on other side. These flip-able characters (30) are made of acrylic and are of attractive laminated prints and colors as shown in figure 9. The fold-able toy structure is now ready to play with and create a story by the children.
Example 2: Closing of lightweight toy structure
Once the children are done playing they can easily fold the toy again wherein the furniture or characters are first placed back in their compartments (4,5) in pouch (3). The floor elements (24, 25, 26) are then gently lifted without much effort by the children. Once the floor elements (24, 25, 26) are lifted the vertical flaps are folded in the inner direction, being connected to stretchable material (17) they easily close up and the toy structure is again fastened back with the velcro. The folded toy structure is now placed in the center of the upper half of the base mat (9). Further the horizontal and vertical flaps of base mat (9) are folded to again form a carry case (9) which is then fastened back with the velcro to form a carry case (9) and the toy can be carried back again. The lightweight fold-able toy structure is non-toxic and easily manageable by children and parent.
