Holiday Travel Kits For Kids
Kids’ Holiday Travel Kits For The Plane
The perfect organizer for a kids’ holiday travel kit is something like this hanging toiletries bag. It holds a lot of stuff in one convenient little package. Get one for each child in your family, and then stock it with the following items:
- Coloring books
- Colored pencils {they don’t melt like crayons do!}
- Kindle Fire or other kid-friendly activity tablet with age-appropriate apps installed
- Sticker activity book
- Any other small toys or travel games you can fit inside your kit
Holiday Travel Kits For The Car
If you’re taking a holiday road trip, stock a kids’ holiday travel kit inside a backpack for the car before you go. Here are some ideas:
- Create a craft binder. A large binder with 3″ rings holds several zip-close pouches you can fill with stickers, colored pencils, markers and paper. When the binder is closed, the top acts as the perfect sized “desk” for your child to work on.
- Include a pack of Expo Window Markers. These are fun for drawing on the glass, and easily erase when your child is finished.
- Window clings are fun on a road trip. Get a pack of holiday-themed window clings and let your child use the window glass to have hours of fun using her imagination.
- A tablet or Kindle Fire works as well in the car as it does on a plane. Before you go, download some brand new apps and games to keep your child’s interest.
