slide 2: Looking for creative and quiet ways to
entertain the kids at their next visit to the
Grandparents
Well designed activity kits for kids are the
perfect way to keep them entertained at
home while traveling or anytime you need
some peace and quiet.
slide 3: Whats an activity kit
An activity kit is a collection of age
appropriate items that keep kids
entertained. In short - they are fun in a bag
You can create one for any need or occasion
- from going to the park eating out travel
time or even quiet time at home.
Whether traveling around the world or just
around the block the right travel games can
make the trip much easier. No more whining
from a backseat full of bored kids. These tips
will help you select the right travel activities
for kids.
slide 4: Kids are best entertained when
presented with a new task but not
when faced with something so
difficult it becomes frustrating.
Look at the manufacturers age
recommendations and compare
with your childs skills. If it is a
brain teaser and your child is
already accomplished at solving
similar puzzles try going up in
age. Conversely if it is a new or
emerging skill consider looking
for easier items that will build
confidence. The educational or
brain teaser section of your
favorite toy store is a good place
to start.
THINK CHALLENGING
slide 5: While your son may be a fan of all
things dinosaur try mixing it up a
bit with some dinosaurs and some
new toys/activities. For instance
we included a small colorful
snake in m daughters activity kit
and it was her favorite thing from
the entire trip. For younger
children it is essential to pack a
lot of smaller items that can be
swapped out easily. Look in the
novelty or impulse buy section for
things like wind-up toys small
cars dolls and little animals - all
easy to pack and perfect for
anytime fun.
THINK VARIETY
slide 6: Think creativity
Go beyond coloring books and
look for fun easy crafts like color
your own masks and activity
books that encourage budding
artists to be creative and have
fun. When looking for crafts
make sure they are self contained
and if flying contain no glue or
scissors.
