Top 12 Great Travel Toys for Kids
12. Acqua Doodle - awesome reusable travel fun that allows kids to doodle with a refillable water pen. Let it dry and doodle again. Hours of entertainment!
11. Water-appear designs - these fun magic paper products are use-once as opposed to the acquadoodle items, but are everywhere with loads of designs and characters.
10. Small travel games - this is really for the older kids, but they make great, travel-sized tin holders for chequers, chess, hangman etc...
9. Reusable sticker sets keep kids happy and busy. Little Jet Setter has 4 fun travel scenes!
8. Magnet Sets - like sticker sets, but with magnets. Obviously.
7. Bucket and Spade - this is great for the beach, but you'd be surprised how much fun it can be in the bath, the hotel room etc.
6. Stackable Cups - greatest travel invention ever bar none. Easy to pack. Useful everywhere (except the restaurant...stacking means also breaking down...which can cause serious injury to waitstaff with cups underfoot!).
5. Blow up toys - (oi...mind out of the gutter please...). These are super easy to deflate and pack, and are good in the pool, bath, ocean and on dry land!
4. Electronic games - the iPhone, the iPad - these are your friends.
3. Books - there is nothing better than a favourite (or a new book) to use again and again.
2. Toy clip - this should be your travel essential. It allows you to clip toys to baby's clothes, chair, table etc. so they stay off the ground. Cleaner and so much better for parental sanity than picking up the same item a million times!
1. Toddler packs - backpacks, suitcases, handbags - little ones love to put things in and take things out. As they get older they can carry their own toys with them as well! One less thing to jam in the nappy bag...
Kids develop fast, so I look for toys that they can use right now and still be challenged by in six months. Toys on the road can get damaged easily, so think about whether you want to bring expensive toys with you. It’s easy to lose pieces, so think about that too.
