Maximizing screen time can make kids irritable while on long trips, but packing a creative backpack with travel toys and activities can make all the difference! Below, I’ve listed the best creative travel toys for kids aged 6-12; we have tried and tested each idea!
My kids have flown long hauls (from the UK and the USA to Australia) since they were three months old, and they look forward to receiving their creative backpacks! I’ve also included our fun backpacks and light, compact lunch bags (scroll down).
Savvy parents know that a new toy or two is enough to make a long day of travel more enjoyable for the whole family. With that in mind, I’ve listed my top travel toys to help make your next trip with kids smoother and stress-free. These toys are affordable and can fit easily into any kid’s backpack. Amazon.com carries them all, so what are you waiting for? Here are the best travel toys for kids aged 6-12!
