Travel toys and waiting games

Magnetic playsets are one of our favorite travel toys. These self contained toys make for great imagination play. There is a Bluey one, Paw patrol,

These will last a whole flight and dont make a mess.

Ok, I know you don’t like slime, I get it, me too. BUT, these are individually packaged. You can hide one on an airport layover and let them look around to find it. Or keep one in your purse when a restaurant is taking longer than expected, or pass it back on a car ride. Its like having little treasures on hand.

Sticker mosaics are a great non messy travel toy for little hands, this one is for smaller hands and this one is for older children.

Coloring books are perfect, don’t forget the crayons, pencils or markers. This set is great because of the carrying case to keep it all together.

LCR is a classic waiting game! Ages 5+ can enjoy this one.

We take these with us to hotels or VRBOs. Great because its a mostly quiet game that can incorporate your dinosaurs or other little animals to play in. Great for all ages. Ok if you loose a peice here or there. We put ours in a reusable zippered pouch for easy transport. This is a smaller travel kit option too.

This lap desk has 4.5 stars becuase it is great for keeping little ones busy without dropping the crayons, markers, magnets or tablet. Perfect for road trips.

If the children are going to use a tablet, these are a great choice. They are rechargeable, can be used with or without the wire. They are easy to control and have sound safety built in.

Sticker books are always a hit and this is one of our faves.

This game is enjoyed by all ages at restaurants in our family. My husband and I have been known to play when out on dinner dates too.

Figurines just never get old. We like that this set has different categories and its own packaging.

This tech free tablet makes for hours of drawing fun. Practice letters, play tick tack toe or dots.

Mad libs are always fun! They have jr edition for ages 5-7 and the regular ones for all ages.

Scratch art is a teeny but messy (the scratchings come off) but they are a good travel activity for a variety of ages.

The toddler busy board is a crowd pleaser. Just make sure to tuck it away when you aren’t traveling so its new and exciting on the road.

An inflatable travel car seat comes In clutch – never getting lost at luggage check. Check sizes and weights to see if it is a fit.

If you are flying with an infant, this is so helpful. A friend loaned us one for a long flight and I don’t know how I would have done it without that.

For older kids, this has been a huge hit. Not for while traveling but we take it to our destination or ship it ahead to enjoy. Get your air dry clay.

Another ship ahead to enjoy and don’t mind leaving it behind is this cardboard house. Coloring, a hideout – perfect for a VRBO or grandmas house.

Great for calming down when you are at a new place or have had a big day on the go. We like magnesium baths too, but this is easier to travel with. Get yours.

Portable white noise machine for napping on the go. This has saved our day countless times.
