9 min read

Toddler Activities for Travelling

Below the printables, you'll find our most popular travel toys to make travelling a little easier with little ones.  We've organized them by age, so just scroll down to the age you're looking for, from Infancy to 8 Years+   

Please Note: Many of these toys aren’t just for the age listed; they can be enjoyed for years as children grow. Be sure to explore suggestions across all age groups :)

If you're looking for activities rather than toys, download our favourite travel printables.

We love travel printables because they're often perfect for all ages and make any journey easier. They take up almost no space, so you can print just a few sheets and have them ready whenever you need them. Younger children can enjoy them with a little help from parents, while older kids can work independently.

8 of our Favourite Travel Printables 

1. Road Trip Scavenger Hunt

Road Trip Scavenger Hunt Canada

2. Airport Scavenger Hunt  


3. Colour Hunt

Look for something in every colour on the colour hunt page (this one is useful for so many things, you could print out 10 of them, just to have them handy)

4. Letter Scavenger Hunt

If you have a young toddler, they can call out when they recognize a letter on license plates, road signs, signs at the airport, etc. If you have an older toddler/preschooler (around 3+), they can use a dot marker to mark the letter once they've seen it and make it a game like bingo, where the first to get a line "wins."

If your child is currently learning the phonetic sounds of letters, i.e. Gg makes a "guh" sound, you can also work together to look for objects that start with that letter. 

   


5. Road Sign Scavenger Hunt


    

6. Dot Printables

These are great for restaurants.  Toss a couple in a bag with some dot markers

7. On The Road Scavenger Hunt

Practice colour recognition and visual discrimination skills with this hunt.
