Real-Life Communication -- Solution

TravelToy

Every kid knows there's nothing worse than going on a long vacation and leaving behind your favorite toys and games. Even worse, when Mom and Dad only let them take one or two of their favorites along, many children quickly get bored!

With TravelToy, that dilemma is ancient history.

TravelToy is 15 toys in one suitcase-sized package. And the package even has wheels so youngsters never have to leave it behind.

Within each TravelToy is a reversible checkers and chess game, a set of jacks, a deck of cards, a paddle ball, a toy harmonica, coloring books, a miniature village complete with cars and people and a 500-piece jigsaw puzzle.

Keeping your TravelToy components together is half the fun. Each item is stored in a secret compartment inside the case, making putting toys away as much fun as playing with them. Perfect for ages five to nine, TravelToy is the latest design from Unique Toys Inc.

Toy inventor David Silverglate says communication skills are an important marketing tool. "If you present toys to companies yourself, rather than with an agent, communication is important."
