Outdoor Play Must-Haves

CINEMOOD

Ok, the CINEMOOD Portable Movie Theater is always a good idea. But in the midst of social distancing and stay at home orders, CINEMOOD has become a necessity. It allows you to get creative and make nights at home special. Whether setting up outside to watch a movie under the stars,

Snuggling together in bed,

Or just a typical movie night on the couch that needs a little flair after countless movie nights as we all heed the orders to stay at home and social distance ourselves.

CINEMOOD gives the eyes and brain a break, eliminating blue light, and providing a safer viewing experience than tablets, and TVs, so it is a perfect before bed treat for kids.

CINEMOOD is more than a projector. It includes built-in access to leading subscription-based streaming platforms and popular kid-friendly content creates an endless library of movies and shows. Simply log into Netflix or the like and start streaming.

But CINEMOOD does more than stream movies and shows. It comes packed with endless hours of fun cartoons, e-books, shadow puppets, lullabies, and bedtime stories. Their pre-loaded parent-curated library has no commercials and includes more than 120 hours of pre-loaded, kid-friendly reading and educational content.

You could easily use it to stream many of the lessons your little homeschoolers are currently getting or for some interactive fun.

CINEMOOD is what we all need right now to make our endless nights at home more fun. And just think, once we are able to socialize again, the CINEMOOD will be all the rage at your kids’ next sleepover.
