What's inside and how can you use it?
A suitcase full of ideas! The Activity Box is ideal for taking on trips: to Grandma's, to friends' houses, to the doctor's, to restaurants, etc. As an alternative to screens, it offers lots of ideas for having fun and keeping busy in creative ways.
A lid teeming with details! The lid of this suitcase is covered with a search-and-find illustration. Eight little characters are hiding in it. Look for them, find them, and describe them! Go on a journey with Will and Mich! In the illustrated book Will and Mich, Will the little monkey and Mich the little fox take you into their world. This story is full of ideas for playing, moving around and discovering new things.

Put on your own puppet show! The small flannels can be used as hand puppets. They are Will and Mich from the picture book. They can be used to tell the story of the illustrated book to children or to make everyday moments, such as bath time, more fun.
Roll the die and get moving! With the movement die, you can always try new motor skills exercises together.
Draw everywhere! To pass the time during long waits, for example at a restaurant or the doctor's office, the suitcase includes a sketchbook and coloured pencils.
Have fun with Pastel the caterpillar! The little wooden caterpillar named Pastel is hiding in the suitcase. You can play with it and include it in your games.
Dress up, hide and cuddle! With the play towel, you can cuddle, dance, hide and dress up. For unlimited play ideas.
Room for other toys! In addition to all the great contents, the suitcase has enough space to add your own games, books or favourite stuffed animal.
