We decided to combine two of our other models into an easy to build design that is compact enough to fit in any backpack yet strong enough to endure anything you throw at it. These trip games feature a tic-tac-toe puzzle and a tangram. What is most amazing of all is that you only need a piece of string inserted through all four side holes to keep everything together!
You can find this model under the “Games” and “Educational” categories.
