Tips for Travelling with Kids
- Wrap the toys. Part of the fun will be opening the toy to see what is inside. Use old drawings, newspaper, (remember those!?) or reuse the paper bags from the shopping. Give them to the kids one at a time so they have something new to play with.
- Pack snacks. Hungry kids are always going to be grumpier! No playing while you eat. This gives them a break to come back to play.
- Think of your travel toys in a similar way as the snacks. Short bursts of energy and play. Small toys to engage them, and a range to choose from. A book, a wooden toy, a car, a puzzle.
- Eye Spy is always a fun game, especially on car trips. Spot the car is a game we made up and still love to play.
