Portable Play this Spring Break

Helping Reduce Family Holiday Stress

School holidays are a time when families seek out new adventures and an escape from the daily routine.

Whether you’re lucky enough to be taking a road trip or enjoying more meals at cafes, as parents, we are always looking for ways to keep kids occupied, ideally with something that involves genuine engagement and an unplugged screen alternative.

With that in mind, our range of compact portable play activity sets are here to help reduce the stress.

To qualify for a Tiger Tribe “Portable Play” badge, our products must meet one or more of the following criteria:

Compact enough to easily throw into mom’s handbag, the family daypack, stash in the car seat-back pocket, carry-on luggage, or a kid’s backpack
Small enough to easily use on an airplane food tray, in the back seat of the car, or at a cafe table
Containable — everything you need to complete the activity must come in a self-contained box (so nothing gets lost), making it super easy to pack up too!
Offer a non-digital alternative to help ‘unplug’ kids
Provide high-value content, so kids remain engaged for extended periods of time.
