The Best Kids Entertainment to Take on Trips

When it comes time to take a trip with your children, it can be hard to keep them entertained, especially during the traveling part or when you are in the hotel room for the night. Whether it’s by plane, train, or automobile, activities like personalized childrens book and magnetic board games can help alleviate boredom and keep kids calm and entertained. Here are some of the toys you should take with you on a trip with children.

Kids Personalized Books

Magnetic Drawing Toys

Magnetic drawing toys are perfect for children while traveling as they aren’t messy. The magnetic part is contained, while the stylus used to “draw” is usually attached to the toy with a string. If you have more than one child or are traveling by plane or train, you can play games together, such as tic-tac-toe or tracing their hands and drawing something from the shape.

Personalized Books

Kids personalized books are perfect for children, especially if you surprise them with the book during the trip. A book with their name in it, starring an avatar that looks like them, means they get to be the star of the adventure. Choose a book that also teaches positive values, such as one that assigns a different value to each letter of your child’s name, and it can be a learning experience, as well. They will crack a smile ear-to-ear when they realize the book is about them.

Coloring and Sticker Books

The classic traveling companions, coloring books and sticker books are fairly self-contained and will keep a child entertained for hours. Coloring books are perfect with triangular crayons, which won’t roll away if put on trays, or with markers that only work on a certain type of paper, protecting doors, plane bulkheads, and train chairs from becoming a canvas for an aspiring artist. Sticker books are another great option, though stickers can certainly be placed on surfaces. However, they tend to be easy to remove, and you can find stickers for just about any theme, movie, or show that your child currently loves.

Magnetic Board Games

If your child is old enough to play board games, bring along magnetic board games like checkers or Connect Four. These are simple games to understand and play, and they are great for long plane rides or playing in the hotel after dinner and before bedtime.

Headphones

Headphones can let your child listen to music as they watch the scenery go by, or you can put an audio book on and let them listen to their favorite books. There are plenty of songs that kids will want to listen to on the trip, but unless you are in a car, it’s frowned upon to listen using speakers. With headphones, your child can enjoy their favorite music to pass the time.
