Jakks Pacific Inc. launched the Jakks Care Package on Amazon.com, a gift for kids created to help them alleviate feelings of homesickness. Originally curated with hospitalized kids in mind, the Jakks Care Package includes items to help kids cope from being away from home such as a road trip, weekend away, summer camp stay, or a slumber party.Â
The Care Package includes Jack, a 12-inch cuddly superhero plush pal that doubles as a pillow; an activity tray specially designed for kids to rest on kids’ laps and includes storage space; a cup holder; three dry-erase markers for tabletop doodling fun; a projector flashlight that illuminates onto a wall or ceiling; and a mask and cape.
The concept was started when regular summer intern Austin Reynolds challenged the Jakks design team to create the ultimate care package for kids away from home that would provide them comfort, fun, and distractions. For every Jakks Care Package sold, Jakks Cares—the company’s philanthropic arm—will donate a toy to a child in need.
