Activity Kit
For entertainment during travel Unisex, Ages 6 - 9
Problem
Kids get bored during car rides.
- It’s a Fact If you’re the parent or grandparent of an elementary school-age child, no one has to tell you, that the need for spontaneous entertainment is in constant. Having something to occupy your child is an necessity!
Wouldn’t it be nice if a parent could be prepared in advance for their child’s entertainment needs?
Research
What do kids want to play with?
Conventional Activities The existing fail safes for entertaining travel are:
Snacks DVD players Books Window clings Visual games All of these work when keeping children busy. The problem is that they often get tired of one thing easily, so several different options are always a must.
Existing Activity Kits There are currently a few car activity kits that are available for purchase, but the problem is that they often contain one activity. Children that are 6-9, get bored in a short amount of time. So a parent has to buy more than one activity kit for more entertaining variety.
Wax Covered String Wax covered string is a no mess sculpting medium that is endless in it’s possibilities. They stick to windows and other smooth surfaces. They also stick to themselves, but are still easily separated for reuse.
Existing Companies Wikki Stix Bendaroos The problem with these companies, are that they don’t have a multi-activity kit. Without some direction, a child might run out of ideas and lose interest. An enjoyable multi-activity laptop box, would keep kids entertained for hours.
