Gift Ideas for Traveling Kids

Get kids excited about travel before your next family trip by planning gifts that build their anticipation or enrich the experience. Here are a few ideas:

Get Them a Travel Journal

Kids can capture their adventures and the highlights of a trip in a journal where they can write or draw pictures as they travel. The Little Explorer Travel Journal is designed with prompts that encourage them to note both the details of date and destinations, as well as favorite moments, local features, the weather, and plenty of space for other notes and drawings. They’ll not only enjoy using the journal but will also treasure it when they’re older as a memory of their travels.

Gift Them a Road Trip Kit

If a road trip is in your family’s future, the Kids Road Trip Kit includes a diary along with backseat activities, scavenger hunts and travel games. Dry erase cards can be used multiple times, and activities include both games for single or multiple children. The journal has rounded corners for extra durability, and the kit is boxed and finished with a bow for gift giving.

For the Cruising Kid

For kids who will be venturing on a family cruise vacation, the Personalized Kids Cruise Travel Journal is a seven-day vacation diary and activity book with a cruise theme. The brightly colored cover features ships and dolphins, and pages are suitable for pencils, crayons and watercolors. Coloring puzzles and games will keep kids busy on the trip to the cruise terminal.

Inspire Kids with A Unique Map Book
Whet kids’ appetites for seeing the world (and sneak in plenty of educational value) with a copy of Maps by Daniel Mizieliński and Aleksandra Mizielińska. Beautiful illustrations bring exotic places to life with appealing illustrations of local animals, landmarks, events, people and cultural icons.

Make Airport Travel Fun
Pulling big rolling luggage is for adults, but traveling kids can ride on theirs. Both VEVOR and FLYTE make scooter luggage, with wheeled platforms that fold away for stowing onboard. The 18-inch FLYTE Scooter Suitcase Folding Kids Luggage is decorated as an attention-getting Stormy the Shark. Here’s a gift for both parents and young travelers: Younger kids can ride on the cleverly designed TABU Carry-On Luggage. Shaped with a saddle top, this 360-degree roller includes a smaller suitcase that fits on top, making suitcase, child and handbag into one piece of rolling luggage.
