If you read the message boards, you might have read that my family and I recently traveled to Europe. It was a rather ambitious adventure with two little ones in tow. But one thing that truly saved us was the exceptionally cute toddler backpack and activity pack from Four Peas.

Not only did my daughter proudly wear her backpack through the airport and on our many travels throughout Belgium (on the train and walking through the cities) she enjoyed bringing it to breakfast so she could unload the goodies from her activity pack. And when she did, children came from all over the restaurant to share in the fun. At one point, she was playing with a little boy from Australia and a girl from Italy. And while Ellie doesn't understand a lick of Italian and the little girl didn't understand a word of English, they all certainly bonded over the items in the Four Peas activity pack. Stickers apparently speak a universal language.

Now even though the Four Peas backpack was an asset on our big adventure, it is equally perfectly geared for those smaller everyday adventures to preschool, the grocery store and the library. Plus, right now Four Peas is offering one free mini-activity pack with purchase. Simply enter code FREE MINI in the comments section during checkout to receive this offer.
