Best travel toys: Ways to entertain kids on a road trip

Blog· Van life· Vanlife with kids

16 Dec

So what are the best travel toys and good toys for a road trip? We are always looking out for great road trip games and activities to entertain children on the road. We are very lucky that our kids travel pretty well, and rarely do we have the repeated sounds of ‘ are we nearly there yet ?’ echoing throughout the journey. I often get asked how to entertain kids on the road,  so I thought I would put our best travel toys and activities together here. We have experienced long road trips with a baby and a toddler, as well as road trips as our kids have got older.  My first tip is to try to pack the children a travel bag.  I generally don’t involve them in the packing process, to create a ‘travel surprise bag’ –  I find the surprise of what’s in their bag helps to entertain them alone.

  • Travel snack ideas for kids

I have put together a list of a few ideas to keep kids occupied on a road trip or a long car journey, including a few road trip games, healthy snack ideas whilst travelling, and our pick of toys to take on travels.

1) Travel books for kids and best books for a road trip 

I always put in a book or two and find it keeps the kids entertained no matter what their age. They are also well used during a camping trip as all my children still love their bed time stories before they go to bed. We love the lonely planet travel journal  and the Ispy collection of books – ideal for travelling with young children. There are also great kids audio books – look out for free audio books and kids podcasts. We do pay for Spotify and there is a great selection of music and podcasts online.

2) Road trip crafts – kids mosaics

So what are fun things to do in the car on a road trip? I came across these wonderful mosaics and they are a great size for travelling. My girls LOVE them. The smaller size easily pack into a kid’s rucksack or travel bag, and I find that they not only keep the girls entertained for a good part of a journey, they also entertain them during our camper van breaks.  We also love the travel doodles book and other activity books and sticker books that I pick up from amazon or the works at a good price.

3) DVDs and tablets for travel

I know camping is all about the fresh air, beautiful scenery, great outdoors and time with the family away from screens, but I also know that adding a movie into a road trip can definitely pass an hour or two. We try to entertain the kids without technology for as long as possible but have equally found them invaluable on journeys where we have been stuck on a gridlocked motorway. We love the amazon kindle fire for kids and try to download a few games, and kids character episodes before the journey… a great way to entertain a toddler in the car! If your kids don’t get car sick, then a kindle is great for reading books and activities.


4) Free printables 

There are so many free road trip game printable for kids that you can download on the internet nowadays, and they are a great and cost efficient way for entertaining kids during mealtimes in restaurants or on a car journey. I print out a few colouring pages and travel games such as dot to dot, word searches and spot the difference.  It always helps to entertain the older children both on the road and once you get to your destination and even better they are free.

5) Pipe cleaners

Pipe cleaners are so cheap but can keep kids entertained for hours. My girls make bracelets but some kids will make stick men or general objects! They are also really cheap to pick up.

6) Water colouring sets

Mess free colouring. No more words needed! Such a brilliant toy to take on holiday.

7) Magazines/sticker books

I know that magazines can work out expensive but occasionally as a treat I add a couple of magazines into the girls’ bags. I find the magazines entertain them during the car journey, and the freebies that come with a magazine entertains them throughout the holiday. My eldest loves the craft and art magazines and these often keep her entertained during our holiday too.

8) Road trip games for kids of all ages

We always take card games with us as it occupies the children on rainy days, provides a little down time and also occupies the children in the car. We recently purchased a travel chess set and I have loved teaching my older daughter (who is 9) the rules of the game. We also love  UNO – a much loved card game. Travel chess, magic cube,  travel guess who …. the list is endless.

Other car games include I- spy – a guessing game where one player chooses an object and names the first letter of the object, and other players try to guess the object.

Cloud shapes – where children make shapes out of the clouds in the sky.

9) Rainbow mini scratch art

Mini scratch art are is great, we have this note set, and the kids etch doodles, words, pictures on the matt black coating to reveal rainbow colours underneath.

10) Scrap books

My eldest loves a scrapbook, so we pack a  scrapbook on our car journeys. The girls take it in turns to draw pictures, write lists, note the road signs..and whilst we are away they save their treasures, driftwood, shells etc to add when we get home. A scrap book is a great option to keep them occupied and also reminds them of their travels.

Toddler toys for a road trip 

It can be tricky to entertain a toddler in the car, and it is always good to have a few things up your sleeve to keep young children occupied on those long car journeys and unexpected traffic jams. So what activities can you pack for younger children?

1) Tin activities

We absolutely love these gift in a tin activities. We have the farm in a tin and the zoo in a tin and they have been amazing to entertain our toddler on a plane, in the car, and on our camper van holidays.

2. Sticker books

Our toddler loves a sticker book and they are relatively cheap to buy. I often keep my eyes out for books that may work for our travels in the sales and put them away for our holidays.

3) Wipe clean books and aqua doodle

Mess free colouring, what is not to love about wipe clean books and water colouring? They are a fantastic travel toy for toddlers and also for older kids as they can keep them occupied in restaurants, on the plane and in the car.

4) Teddy bears

We always pack a favourite comforter and teddy bear or two. They are great for role play and nap time whilst out and about.

5) Toddler books for the car

Our toddler loves the touch and feel books and the lift and flap books, and they are great to pack in a travel bag for holiday.

6) Fuzzy felt activities

Fuzzy felt activities are great for hand luggage. Children love the interactive soft felt books to make novelty scenes and pictures with the felt shapes.

7) Primary lacing beads

Primary lacing beads are designed to encourage your little one to improve their fine motor skills by threading the beads onto the laces. There are 30 beads in 6 colours and they keep our toddler occupied for hours on the road, on our travels and also at home.

8) My busy books

These are great and relatively cheap to buy. They are a book and activity set all in one. My busy books are novelty books that come with a book, activity books and figures that keep toddlers entertained for hours. We have the paw patrol busy book and princess busy books at home.

9)  figures and dolls

My little man absolutely loves his paw patrol figures. He packs a few in his rucksack where we go and they keep him occupied both on the road and whilst we are away on our trips.

Available from Spin Master on Amazon

Car activities for babies

1) Comforter

We always packed a comforter for our baby, this could be a much loved dummy, blanket or teddy bear.

2) Lamaze pram and sensory toy 

All three of our children loved the Lamaze pram toys, particularly the colourful Freddie the firefly.

3) Fun key toys

What is it about toy keys and mobile phones that babies just love? Small, easy to pack and entertain babies whilst in their car seat.

4) Spiral activity hanging toy

This toy wraps around the handle of the car seat and provide hours of entertainment with the hanging shapes and mirrors.

5) Musical books

Musical books are great to pack for the car, and also whilst you are out and about. We also used to pack a bath book for the toddler paddling pool on holiday

6) Stacking cups and a watering can.

Easy to pack in rucksack and provides hours of entertainment in the car, in the bath, swimming pool and on the beach.

Travel snack ideas for kids

We don’t go anywhere without packing a few snacks in the rucksack. Stopping off for many drinks, toilets and food stops can add hours on to a journey, which is soul destroying and costly!!!  I always pack a little selection of healthy travel snacks so here are a few ideas including toddler snack ideas:

  1. cheese
  2. pots of dried cereal
  3. hard boiled eggs,
  4. crackers and cream cheese,
  5. sandwich wraps.
  6. fresh fruit
  7. squeezable yoghurt tubes
  8. raisins
  9. cut vegetables including carrots and cucumber.
  10. vegetable crisps

    I agree about starting the travelling young so that it’s just a part of life. My boys are pretty good in the car too although I do need to broaden their music tastes a bit. I might try making a playlist with a mix of their music and ours. I’m so backward with technology so your post has reminded me I need to get into the 21st century! #familytraveltips

    My girls are pretty good so far. My eldest is 4 and struggles to stay awake! If she doesn’t fall asleep she is still happy just to watch out of the window. It’s like the car deeply relaxes her! Lots of great ideas here though for children who might need it. #familytraveltips

    We love the mosaics too! It can occupy my eldest for quite some time – so handy for longer car journeys. She does get frustrated though if she puts one slightly wrong! Thanks for linking up to #familytraveltips

    Brilliant tips thank you! We are heading off on a roadtrip later this week so this is perfect timing for us too! My girls love those mosaics, I’m going to invest in a couple before we go. Thanks for the reminder about travel games too, I have one waiting to go! Thanks for linking up to #familytraveltips

Nantcol waterfalls campsite I’ve had so many m Nantcol waterfalls campsite 

I’ve had so many messages to ask where we camped in Snowdonia. If you are looking for a unique camping experience in Snowdonia, then this one is for you. 

Nantcol Waterfalls Campsite is a family friendly campsite on the edge of the river and waterfalls yet just a couple of miles from golden sandy beaches.

There is also glamping available onsite 

It is safe to say this was a favourite campsite of ours. The wash facilities were immaculate. Great size pitches and direct access to the river. 

Harlech and Barmouth are just a short drive away and I can highly recommend the Victoria Inn if you fancy a night off cooking! 

What a gem!

I’ve popped more info in my stories for you. 

Who’s coming with us next time? 😂

North Wales - you never disappoint! My plan was t North Wales - you never disappoint!

My plan was to post regularly on here over the first part of the holiday, but the truth is we have been searching for  sunsets, living our best life on the beach, chasing the sunshine, having lazy evenings by the river (may have had a vino or two), and spending quality time together. The lack of 3G can be such a joy! This is what vanlife is all about! 

Time to hit the road and wave goodbye to 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 for now! Ready for our next road trip (Ps campsite details coming tomorrow) 

Anyone else love North Wales as much as us?

Road tripping in the UK! Chatting to people about Road tripping in the UK!

Chatting to people about the Summer holidays got me thinking….. 

Why do we play down our holidays? 

“We are just staying in the UK this year”

“We are not going away…we are just staying at home.”

The UK is incredible ……home is one of my favourite places to be ❤️

Introducing the @keeneurope Elle sandal.

Comfortable, lightweight and versatile. I love that the stretchy upper is made from recycled PET plastic bottles. And I love even more that we only have to pack one pair of shoes for our van trips. We have been HUGE fans of @keeneurope shoes for years. 

Now be honest ……How many pairs of shoes do you take on holiday?

Vanlife with kids 🏕🚐 I posted a video the o Vanlife with kids 🏕🚐

I posted a video the other day on my stories from our early days in our  van and it got me thinking. How amazing is it that our kids get to experience vanlife?

As adults we love vanlife, I mean what’s not to love about chasing the sun, a break from routine, time together, and sitting outside watching a sunset with a glass of wine. 

But the kids love it just as much. They love the freedom, waking up in new places, sleeping in the roof, a sea view, paddle boards for hours in the sea, the late night sunsets and throwing out the bedtime routine. They love it all. 

The calendar is crazy at the moment, end of year parties, leavers parties, new inset days, school trips and dance shows, so I think we are all looking forward to some annual leave and a rest 😆 (did I really use the word ‘rest’ with three kids and a dog?😆) 

➡️ swipe for a few of my fave vanlife pics from our recent travels 

What do you love the most about vanlife? And how about the kids - what do they love?

Ad/ Slow living A campervan… a hammock and a g Ad/ Slow living 

A campervan… a hammock and a good book. Everyone needs a hammock in their life right?? ❤️ 

What a brilliant bit of kit, the @tickettothemoonhammock stores well in the campervan, is lightweight yet really strong, and is easy to set up, and put away. Furthermore a king size hammock can easily sleep two adults and a child. Although to be fair I’m quite happy here all by myself with a good book ….who said anything about sharing ? 😆

The @tickettothemoonhammock review will be live on the blog shortly once I can physically remove myself from my hammock and my little area of peace and tranquility 🙂 

This is absolutely what vanlife is all about. An opportunity to enjoy nature and the great outdoors. No more words needed . 

Who else loves a hammock?

The gram is such a funny thing. I have made some a The gram is such a funny thing. I have made some absolutely wonderful friendships over the years. Beautiful friends that are just my kind of people. Absolute sunshine.

On our recent girls van trip…. 

Me “girls just make sure I don’t lose my key - I always seem to misplace it.”

Time to say our goodbyes.. 
Girls “bye for now” - waving as they get in their vans.

Me. “Girls - I’ve lost my key”

One hour of searching and complete van emptying commences. 
 
I am that friend 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️

Moral of the story. Find your tribe 😆

Anyone else that kind of friend?

Solo campervan trip For the first time ever I’m Solo campervan trip

For the first time ever I’m off on a trip in the campervan without my kids. My little peace breakers. Without my hubby…. The chief driver. . The one who sets the van up. The one who cooks. The one who makes my cuppa in the morning and pours my wine🙈😆 (so basically Paul does everything) - Actually no - I do pack the van, and I am the one who does all the necessary research and books the trips (it’s a tough job) Oh and I set the beds up, and keep the camping chairs warm? 

Anyway. How will I cope???

Any tips for a solo campervan trip?  And where to go?

A brilliant weekend celebrating my beautiful friend’s surprise 40th in Scarborough with all the people who love her. What weekends are made for ! 🏄‍♀️ 🍹 

So hands up if you can surf because I think need a few more lessons 🤔 🤣
