Embodiment Construction

[0037]Referring now to the drawings in FIGS. 1-6 wherein similar parts are identified by like reference numerals, there is seen in FIG. 1, a perspective view of the folding case 13 of the device 10 in a closed position and ready to engage any of a plurality of activity boards 28 stored within the folding case 13.

[0038]As a means for magnetic attraction between the case 13 and the activity boards 28, a magnetically receptive planar surface 12 is positioned to place it on an upper or first side of the folding case 13 formed by the two half portions 15 and 17 when employed as a base for use by players or users. One half portion 15 has a sidewall 21 and the second half portion 17 has a similar sidewall 23 both of which contact each other when the folding case 13 is in the closed position shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, thereby defining two half interior sections 24 and 26 with one each within each respective sidewall as shown in FIG. 3.

[0039]The folding case 13 formed by the two half portions 1...

Abstract

A portable activity device for playing entertaining and educational games and activities. The activities may also be adapted for provision of physical therapy and occupational therapy. The device features a case having an accessible cavity for storage of activity components. A side surface of the case is magnetically receptive to the activity components which have magnets upon them. The device maintains the activity pieces in place in moving vehicles allowing children to play games during travel without the risk of sharp movements causing the game parts to fall. A white board on the exterior surface is provided which may be employed with markers stored in the cavity.
