Ok on to the toys!


Fat Brain Toys Crankity Brain Teaser – This is a great logic builder with gears. My kids have never been so quite as when they break this toy out to get their design working!


Melissa and Doug Tape Activity Workbook – Lot of activities that involve using tape to make designs. It’s different than the usual activity books and seems to hold their attention.


Wixi Sticks Molding Stix – I love Wixi Sticks because the kids can make designs and the sticks will stick together, bend and twist. When they are done, they can take it apart and make something else!


Crayola Travel Marker and Notepad – Travel drawing set. They can draw what they see, make cards for each other and more.


ZOOB BuilderZ Travel Activity Set – This travel set is kind of like Legos but a lot more travel-friendly!

The Mom I’m Bored Activity Book – I really love the name of this one! This is a great activity pad for when you hear that dread phrase come out of their mouths. It is also great for when you are waiting at the Dr!


Kids Backseat Organizer and Travel Desk – This is another version of the travel desk but allows a bit more organization as well.


The Everything Kids Travel Book – You can find activity book on just about any subject. We love workbooks because the kids can have fun and get some learning in at the same time.


Kids Kindle Fire – Hear me out on this one. We do have kindles for the kids but think about it. We have limited space and bringing out homeschool stash of books wasn’t an option, so we converted them all to ebooks. PLUS with the Kindles, each kid has a FreeTime account, and I can control exactly what books they can read, what games they can play, and what videos they can watch. On top of I can also control how much time they have to spend reading before they can play games, what times they are allowed to be on the tablets and more!


Travel License Plate Game – I loved playing this games on car trips growing up, this is just a more advanced version!
