Whether you're off on a long-haul flight, a weekend roadie, or just tackling errands with a toddler, travelling with kids can be an adventure in itself. 😅 But with the right tools (and snacks, always snacks), you can make it easier for everyone.

Here are some of our absolute favourites for keeping little ones entertained on the go:

Floss & Rock Travel Fun 🎨

Floss & Rock is a total winner when it comes to compact, mess-free entertainment. Their Paint Pads, Colour Switch Magic, Stamper Sets, and Magic Colour Changing Water Cards are lightweight and easy to pack, with no water spills or lost bits. Ideal for planes, cafes, or hotel downtime!

Ooly’s Travel-Ready Sets 🖍️

We love Ooly’s Scratch & Scribble Kits for sensory fun and surprise reveals. And their Carry Along Colouring Books are perfect. These are great for slipping into a backpack or carry-on.

My Creative Box Magnetic Play Sets 🧲

While most of the My Creative Box range is best kept at home, their Magnetic Play Sets are the perfect size for travel. These fold up nice and neatly when you're done!  YES please.

Plus-Plus BIG for Little Hands 🧩

My 3 year old is obsessed with Plus-Plus - and for good reason. These clever little building pieces click together easily, even for chubby toddler hands, and can keep them busy creating for ages. We especially love the BIG size for safe, screen-free fun wherever we are.

Phidal Books: Tattle Tales & Mini Busy Books 📖

These are small but mighty! The Tattle Tales and Mini Busy Books from Phidal include simple stories and matching figurines for imaginative play. Pop one in your nappy bag and you’re sorted for the waiting room, plane, or a quiet moment at the hotel.

Magna-Tiles microMAGS Travel Set 🧲

Good things come in small packages especially ones that can be reused for both storage and building fun on-the-go! These smaller (and very travel-friendly) tiles are 75% smaller than the originals, making them ideal for creativity on the move whether you're in a plane, car, restaurant, or hotel room.

What’s Inside:

• 26 magnetic pieces: 4 Right Triangles, 4 Isosceles Triangles, 6 Equilateral Triangles, 12 Squares

• A sturdy metal tin that doubles as both storage and a baseplate for building anywhere, anytime!

Why we love them:

• Encourages fine motor skills and imaginative play

• Compact and durable—built for endless on-the-go adventures

• Made from food-grade, non-toxic plastic and frustration-free magnets

• For kids aged 3 and up (but let’s be honest—grown-ups will love playing too!)

Final Tips For Travelling With Kids:

• Pack a variety (some colouring, some tactile, some storytelling).

• Choose things that won’t roll, leak or be too noisy.

• Rotate what you bring!

• And most importantly... pack something for you too 😉
