Activity kit with tetherable components

Abstract

An activity kit with tetherable components includes a foldable case movable between a closed position and an open position. The case is devised for use by a child during transit in a vehicle. An interior surface is presentable for use when the case is moved to the open position. Writing implements are releasably secured to the interior surface and may be unsecured for use. A tether connects each writing implement to the case whereby each writing implement may be retrieved if dropped during transit. A child may, therefore, engage in written and drawing activities in a vehicle without losing use of writing implements, even when the writing implements are dropped.

1 . An activity kit with tetherable components comprising:
 a portable, foldable case having an interior surface and an exterior surface, said foldable case foldable between an open position and a closed position;   a pocket disposed within the interior surface, said pocket disposed to slidingly receive an activity booklet;   at least one tether having a first end and a second end, said at least one tether releasably connectable to the interior surface and releasably connectable to a writing implement at or before the first end and at or before the second end; and   a writable surface disposed upon the exterior surface;   
       wherein the foldable case folds to enclose the activity booklet and writing implement. 
     
     
         2 . The activity kit with tetherable components of  claim 1  writable surface is an erasable surface selected from the group consisting of:
 a dry erase surface, a slate, a magnetic erasable container, a touchscreen. 
 
     
     
         3 . The activity kit with tetherable components of  claim 2  further comprising at least one receptacle disposed upon the interior surface proximal the pocket, said at least one receptacle configured to releasably receive a portion of the writing implement whereby said writing implement is secured to the interior surface of the case. 
     
     
         4 . The activity kit with tetherable components of  claim 3  further comprising at least one fastener whereby the case is securable in a closed position. 
     
     
         5 . The activity kit with tetherable components of  claim 4  wherein the case folds in half and the exterior surface is bisected by a spine. 
     
     
         6 . The activity kit with tetherable components of  claim 5  further comprising at least one handle disposed upon the exterior surface or the spine. 
     
     
         7 . The activity kit with tetherable components of  claim 6  further comprising a soft, raised perimeter disposed surrounding the writable surface upon the exterior surface. 
     
     
         8 . The activity kit with tetherable components of  claim 7  wherein the case is configured to unfold through approximately three-hundred-and-sixty degrees whereby the interior surface is positional exteriorly in the open position. 
     
     
         9 . The activity kit with tetherable components of  claim 8  wherein the case is securable in the open position by means a releasably attachable fastener disposed to interconnect when the case is moved to the open position. 
     
     
         10 . The activity kit with tetherable components of  claim 9  wherein the releasably attachable fastener is selected from the group consisting of:
 hook and loop, snaps, buttons, magnets, and ties. 
 
     
     
         11 . The activity kit with tetherable components of  claim 1  further comprising an attachable collar disposed at the second end of the at least one tether, said attachable collar fastenable around a portion the writing implement. 
     
     
         12 . The activity kit with tetherable components of  claim 1  wherein the tether is disposed horizontally or vertically across the interior surface of the case and intermittently fastened to the interior surface at at least two points whereby the at least one writing implement is attachable by clipping onto sections of the tether between the at least two points of attachment. 
     
     
         13 . (canceled) 
     
     
         14 . (canceled) 
     
     
         15 . The activity kit with tetherable components of  claim 11  wherein the writable surface is an erasable surface selected from the group consisting of:
 a dry erase surface, a slate, a magnetic erasable container, a touchscreen. 
 
     
     
         16 . The activity kit with tetherable components of  claim 12  wherein the writable surface is an erasable surface selected from the group consisting of:
 a dry erase surface, a slate, a magnetic erasable container, a touchscreen.
