Part Three in my gift guide for your favorite globe-trotting tots. (Check out Part One and Two.) Unwrapping a present intended for an upcoming trip is a great way to build excitement - and there's lots of good stuff out there for kids who travel!
Robot Headphone Splitter
I love listening to stories and music as a family on road trips, but even I'll admit to passing out the headphones at a certain point. Thanks to this clever little Robot Headphone Splitter, one music player will do the trick for two kids: just plug him into the MP3 Player/Smartphone/etc., and you're good to go for a little staring out the window in peace and quiet!
You'll have to trust me on this one: The Kid-O Magnatab is pure magic. Something like a reworked Etch A Sketch, you draw the pen across the board to pop up the magnetic beads, one by one. Perfect for drawing geometric shapes, practicing letters, or sketching the old lady across the airplane aisle - and absolutely no mess. Travel-friendly art at its best (and so strangely fun, I guarantee you'll want your own).
Tell Me a Story Cards
A week's worth of bedtime stories can be hard to manage on vacation when you've had to leave your stack of picture books at home. Enter Eeboo Story Cards! In themes like "Animal Village", "Fairy Tales", "Circus", and "Robot's Mission", these illustrated cards are the prompts for your own stories. Whether you tell the stories, your little one does, or you make it a family affair, each card you pull can inspire the next "chapter"; and a quick shuffle is all you need to create an entirely new adventure!
