Traveling for the holidays? As a mom, I am always\nlooking for ways to make traveling\nwith kids easier. Finding travel toys for kids this age can be\nvery difficult; the toys must not only be tough enough but also very be safe,\ninteresting, and able to entertain the child for longer time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s a checklist of toys which can be\ndumped in a small travel bag that toddlers enjoy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stacking cups<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n One-year-olds love to stack and nest, so\nstacking cups make an excellent travel toy. The \u201cnesting\u201d factor also makes\nthem easy to pack into a carry-on. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sunglasses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Find\na pair of small children\u2019s sunglasses. One-year-olds love trying to put them on\ntheir face and will play with these for quite a while. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Books<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cActivity\u201d\nbooks such as touch-and-feel books, lift-the-flap books, and soft, cloth travel\nbooks may entertain a one-year-old for a certain period of time. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Finger\npuppets<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Finger\npuppets are a great activity. Parents can put on a little puppet show, sing\nsongs, and tell stories with them. One-year-olds also like putting them on\ntheir fingers. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Laptop,\niPad, or DVD player<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course no screen time is good for the\nkids, but even parents who prefer not to plug their kids into electronic\ndevices at home will happily bend the rules for a long flight. Nothing beats a\nmovie for entertaining a one-year-old. This is probably the easiest, most\nentertaining option for toddlers. Don’t forget to download a few options before\nyou leave the house. Though don’t start out your trip by plugging them\ninto a movie. Wait until they are fussy before you push that magic button!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Toy\ncell phone<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Pushing\nbuttons and seeing things light up is a great activity for most toddlers. Add a\ntoy cell phone to your travel toy menagerie: they are small and have a good\nplay value for the plane or car ride. Be sure the sound effects are not too\nloud or obnoxious, though: you don\u2019t want complaints from other passengers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n And lastly, have some surprises up your sleeve. Especially during long\ntrips, it’s always a great idea to have a couple new toys or activities to\ndistract your child. This might include toys they have never seen and food\ntreats they only get on special occasions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Traveling for the holidays?
