Every summer I find small surprises for traveling to the mountains for a vacation with my husband and kids. I try to pack new things for the car and for the kids to play with at our destination. Here are my favorite ideas that I think your kids will like, too.
Small Toys

Think-ets Storytelling Game, Beach Collection

Art and Games

3-D Three Little Pigs cardboard house




Sticker Books
One of my favorites sticker books we’ve bought is this Flags Sticker Book. It takes DAYS to complete! (a very good thing.)
The girls’ all time favorites are the Sticker Dolly Dressing Dolls like the Fashions From Long Ago, Sports Girls, and Princesses & Fairies.
But, they also like other sticker books like these: Dinosaurs Sticker Book, Around the World Sticker Book, Art Sticker Book, and Sticker Dressing Knights.

What are your favorite games, toys, and activities for travel?

I’m going to need these! A 3 1/2 hour flight to DC in a few weeks and I wasn’t sure how to entertain O…EEK!
Good luck – I’m sure the girls will be fine but baby O is quite the mover and shaker, isn’t he?!
This is such a great collection of traveling activities. I especially love the take-along dolls. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks! JJ learned a hard lesson with the little dolls — not to take them to a friends house, too easy to get lost. Sad girl but important lesson.
great ideas! Entertainment in the car or plane is always a struggle.
thanks, Daria!
Love the ideas!
thanks, Gina!
Very timely. I’ll be putting these to use this summer.
