I’d mentioned my wife puts together these great activity packs when we travel to keep our kids engaged. Whether its at a restaurant (so we have peace and quiet), in a car, or a train but mostly on planes. I’ve tried to convince her to sell them – but to no avail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The packs get adjusted based on the mode of transport, and if we’re on a bigger trip, she’ll keep activities back, to keep them fresh and engaged with new things. And everything is washable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On our recent trip they included things like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When they were smaller:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When they’re a bit bigger:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Initially she used oversized travel document holders (A4 size) that had buttons to close to store these in. Then once they were bigger, a drawstring bag each, with their names sewn on. And we also put their headphones in each of their bags. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most of these items cost $1-$5 each, so are not terribly expensive. Some of the magnet\/reusable stickers can be a bit more pricey but they last for years. Dollar stores are good places to look to fill out the bag – stickers & small toys. Ebay. And then Amazon. Aldi often has little toys as well in their weekly specials if one is nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The bags will also have snacks or treats in them. Something they like and something new. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
