March 13, 2007 Write On  Once upon a time, a cup of broken crayons and a paper placemat were about as good as restaurant entertainment got. Family nights on the town may have upgraded from the all-you-can-eat buffet days, but the kiddie diversions are still stuck in the Stone Age.The 2007 model? Fun A Go Go Dines Out. Yes, it's a wordy name, but the concept couldn't be simpler: Inside the foldable laminated drawing board sits a nontoxic dry-erase pen, felt eraser and enough game ideas that you might never have to pretend to lose at tic-tac-toe again (of course we believe that you lose on purpose). Toss this kit into your handbag and whip it out next time you eat out – before the antsy little ones decide to overturn the bread basket and begin launching its contents at the wait staff. Designed by a mom who loves to dine out, the small tablet is also an endearingly low-tech alternative to hooking your kids up to DVDs or PSPs during road trips, train rides and airport waits – its simple design provides relief from the primary-colored plastic doodads you might otherwise tote around. Or take advantage of bulk discounts (12-piece party packs) and hand 'em out as birthday party favors. The moms will thank you even more enthusiastically than the little revelers. The next step: Teaching tiny diners that straws are not missiles. Available online at funagogo.com.  |
