For all of those times when you need your little one to be quietly entertained — without your smartphone — there’s the Dogs & Cats at Home Peel & Play activity set. And unlike other sets that entail placing one-time-use paper stickers on a background, with this tote-able set, there are 26 thick, vinyl play pieces that can be used over and over again with the colorful, 18- by 10-inch play board — featuring the interior of a home — and a storage area where every figure can be put away to await their next fur-raising adventure. This will be your go-to set for road trips, doctor’s waiting rooms, and restaurants — truly, it’s the cat’s meow.
