Travel toys can make the world of difference to a long road trip or journey by plane.
For the babies and smaller toddlers just having a simple thing like a rattle or activity toy that can be held in the hand can keep the baby quieter on the long journey.
A play phone with various knobs can also be very handy. One of the most useful toys on a long trip are the books that can be drawn in and wiped clean with a special pen attached.
Coloring books with crayons, activity books, question and answer booklets, games to play recognizing shapes and cars on the road to be ticked off in the game book, sticker books, travel games especially chess that are magnetic and geared for travel, little design kits that can be done while sitting and many more will ease the journey for all in the vehicle.
