Anywhere children go, they’re always on the lookout for fun. Whether accompanying a parent on the weekly grocery shop or embarking on a family vacation, any kid can appreciate toys that they can take along for the ride. Mini backpack toys offer portable playtime that kids can carry on a journey of imagination, laughter and education.
Mini Backpack Toys for Every Animal Lover
Some kids will enjoy toys that mimic popular household pets, especially if their family's circumstances prevent them from having a real furry friend. Not to be overlooked are birds, bunnies and other common wildlife that might be seen on a nature walk or even in a suburban backyard.
Other children will be drawn to more exotic creatures, with the novelty of the figures presenting the child with opportunities to imagine faraway places and environments very different from their own. The Arctic Fun Pack, for example, transports children to the icy expanse of the frozen polar regions to play with amazing animals of both land and sea.
Toys to Tickle the Intellect and the Imagination
Perhaps the greatest spark to a child’s curiosity and imagination are toys representing exotic or mysterious beasts, whether they are ancient, extinct species like dinosaurs or mythical creatures like dragons and unicorns! While realistic animal toys can inspire kids to learn more about the world around them, fantastic and magical themes set in motion daydreams and story-making that are not limited by the constraints of mundane reality.
Beings from more modern mysteries and myths can be even more fun to fantasize about than creatures from ancient fables. Take, for example, this detailed rendition of the legendary Bigfoot. A favorite of kids and cryptozoologists alike, the furry biped with famously oversized footprints can inspire both outlandish speculation and serious study.
Mini Backpack Toys in Sets and Collections
Aside from their portability, one of the greatest benefits of mini toys is their collectability. If a mini toy truck delights your child, think how much more excited they will be by a whole collection of little vehicles. A whole set of related toys that fits inside a backpack is like a mini toy box that a child can take almost anywhere.
Sets of miniature toys are ideal for letting a child expand their imaginative play, creating worlds populated by a full range of “characters'' instead of just one. Collections of toys under a given theme can help illustrate relationships between different members of a related grouping. They also offer a broader range of exciting scenarios for your child to envision, combating boredom.
A great example of this kind of mini backpack toy collection is the Ancient Egypt Toob, which not only introduces children to an important era in human history, but also offers limitless opportunities to imagine dramatic scenarios from a unique setting in the distant past. The variety of ancient “artifacts” provided in this set not only sparks curiosity and respect for other cultures, but also can inspire a budding archaeologist to further investigation into the mysteries of history.
Visits to grandparents, show-and-tell days or simple playdates with friends next door call for toys that travel well, and mini backpack toys are always ready to go. For more tiny toy inspiration, check out the expansive selection at Safari Ltd. now.
