10 Must Have Travel Toys for Toddlers

Traveling with a toddler can be difficult, to say the least. From planning to keeping everyone entertained it can be super stressful. We recently did a 9 hour road trip with my almost 2 year old and these toys and activities kept my toddler entertained the entire way!

1. Baking Sheet

Yes – really. This was a lifesaver for our last 9 hour road trip! My toddler was so entertained with being able to take magnets and stick them to the baking sheet, as well as it served as a great tray table for lunch and helped my toddler not lose her toys. Make sure the baking sheet is steel and not aluminum or the magnets won’t stick!

Magnetic toys were a huge hit on our trip. Before we went I bought large magnetic toys that my toddler could use and wouldn’t be too small for her to play with. She had so much fun moving them all over the baking sheet.

This brought back so many memories! This toy was a huge hit on our trip and it continues to be played with at home. My toddler loved drawing with the pen and having different colors appear. She’s also learning about shapes at school and loved the little stamps (and it was nice they pop back into place so no loosing any pieces)!
