5 Products to Keep Kids Entertained During a Trip

Kids find every new place they explore fascinating, which is why we shouldn't avoid traveling with them; quite the opposite.

Often, kids are an excuse for traveling less: they misbehave on any form of transportation, get bored, require a lot of attention, and there are no suitable furnishings for them... However, young children can be entertained more easily than we think and require very little to avoid boredom. Moreover, if the entertainment is also enjoyable for parents, siblings, grandparents, or anyone accompanying the kids, that's even better, steering clear of screens.

Portable Board Games

There's nothing more fun for both adults and kids than a good board game, especially in travel size. At Juguetilandia and Drim, you can find a wide range of classic games in an ideal size to fit in a suitcase or even in a handbag or backpack. From Clue to Gobblet Gobblers, including Monopoly, Dominoes, and Battleship.

Puzzles

Just like board games, puzzles are guaranteed fun for everyone. In briefcase format and for various ages, with puzzles ranging from 6 to 16 pieces or from 12 to 25, featuring the favorite characters of the little ones: Peppa Pig, Spiderman, Disney Princesses, Mickey Mouse, The Lion King...

For the More Independent and Creative Ones

Some kids -and adults- prefer to play alone, invent stories, and create imaginary scenarios where their dolls can have the most unimaginable adventures. But they have so many toys that most of the time they have to stay at home, much to their owners' dismay. This frustration can be avoided with Lego Storybooks, like this one of The Little Mermaid, which, when folded, is the same size as a regular book. There are also Playmobils that come in an egg and are quite compact.

For those who enjoy the company of a blank sheet of paper and paints, there are also options. For example, this Peppa Pig activity case that includes a drawing notebook, colored crayons, stickers, a brush, and watercolors.

Fun Luggage

Even though adults often have to carry the little ones' luggage, with unique suitcases like these, they might just want to pull them all the way. In the shape of a car (pink or red) or an airplane, there are options for all tastes and, contrary to what one might think, they are quite spacious.

Stories

There's always room for a good book, wherever you may be, even if it means carrying it by hand throughout the trip. The same should go for stories, as they are essential for falling asleep at night. This collection is perfect for swapping out depending on the destination: Classic Tales, Jokes for Kids, Stories for Kids, The Best Verses of Gloria Fuertes, and Why, How, When, Where...?

Traveling with kids has never been easier. All you have to do is help them entertain themselves and play with them so they feel at home and enjoy the journey just as much as the adults.
