This week we are very excited to share some of our favorite children's travel entertainment products! The activity market for kids is filled with amazing products; from books to puzzles, games, and toys - the options seem endless! Below, we offer our Top Five Picks for activities that we feel will provide the most entertainment and distraction on the go (with minimal mess and chance of losing pieces!):
Brain Quest (by BrainQuest) - Easily portable, no small pieces, educational, and fun! These oblong card books offer parents the chance to sneak in some education disguised as entertainment; cards are grouped into books by age (preschool, Kindergarten, 1st grade, etc.) and contain everything from art and math to reading and spelling!

Triangular Crayons (by Crayola) - Crayons are a tried and true favorite for the travelling child! Improving on a classic isn't always easy - but these triangular shaped crayons are a home-run! Not only does the unique shape prevent "roll-away," it also makes holding the crayons easier which makes them more user friendly for younger children with less developed fine-motor skills! (recommended for ages 2+)
Go Games (by Magnetic Poetry) - Go Games has a complete line of magnetic travel games in compact, durable travel cases. All pieces are thick and easy to grab and stay firmly in place so you can store them mid-game to start again later! The Go Games line features such popular games as: Hangman, Chess, Animal Memory Match, Sudoku, Checkers, Tic-Tac-Toe, Backgammon, Bingo, Dominoes, Chinese Checkers, Pachisi, and States and Capitols!
