Critter Control for Earbuds

Today’s kids are practically born attached to an electronic product. As they grow, there are several electronic devices in use as tots watch movies on tablets, listen to music on their MP3 players, and do homework on a computer. To make these activities work, the key ingredient is earbuds which, like socks in the wash, are always MIA. Thanks to Education Outdoors, there is a solution. It’s Pet Pods: cute little stuffed animals that arrive with a set of earbuds tucked into the back of each animal and secured with a Velcro closure.

Pet Pods come in woodland animal designs, including a bald eagle, black bear, beaver, buck, fawn and moose. Each Pet Pod features an attached key ring so the animal can easily be clipped to a backpack, purse or computer bag so earbuds are always on hand without a tangled mess to sort through. Besides keeping precious earbuds safe, Pet Pods provide educational value as each animal comes with a scannable QR code; when used with a smartphone, kids are brought to a webpage full of facts about the animal, digital games and other absorbing activities.

Pet Pods are a smart, simple solution to losing, and searching for, earbuds. Suggest to shoppers to buy a different animal for each youngster in the household to make it easy to identify whose earbuds are where.

“My wife and I have teenage daughters and between the four of us on any given day, we always used to be at least one pair of earbuds short,” says Education Outdoors CEO Tim Paczesny. Pet Pods make appealing stocking stuffers, small gifts and great add-ons when kids acquire new electronics. Gentle pricing adds to their appeal as does controlling a problem in any kid-friendly household.
