Attention, jet-setting parents and guardians! If you're gearing up for a plane or train journey with your little ones in tow, you know that keeping them entertained is key to a smooth and stress-free trip. Fear not – I've got you covered with a handy packing list of must-have items guaranteed to keep boredom at bay and smiles aplenty throughout your travels. Plus, I'll explain why The Crafty Case is a game-changer for your journey. Let's dive in!


1. Snacks Galore: First things first – never underestimate the power of snacks! Pack a variety of bite-sized treats like fruit slices, crackers, and granola bars to keep hunger at bay and tantrums at a minimum. Opt for mess-free options to avoid any mid-flight mishaps.


2. Entertainment Essentials: Next up, it's time to arm yourself with entertainment options to keep your little ones occupied during the journey. Pack a mix of activities, such as coloring books, puzzles, and handheld games. And here's where Crafty Case comes into play – slip one of its compact games into your carry-on for hours of screen-free fun. With options like "The Magnet Game" or "The Holes and Stamps Game," Crafty Case offers engaging activities that will keep your kids entertained and engaged throughout the journey.

3. Comfort Creatures: Long journeys can be tough on little bodies, so be sure to pack comfort items like blankets, pillows, and stuffed animals to help them feel cozy and secure. Encourage them to bring along their favourite cuddly toy or security blanket for an added sense of familiarity and comfort.



4. Travel-Friendly Toys: Opt for compact and travel-friendly toys that won't take up too much space in your luggage. Think mini figurines, magnetic drawing boards, or travel-sized board games that can be easily stowed away when not in use. (If you don't have any our Crafy Case Components are a perfect fit, individual games you can buy if you can't take the whole case).

6. Surprise Treats: Keep boredom at bay with a few surprise treats or small toys tucked away in your bag. One's they have never seen before, or have been tucked in the loft for a while. Pull them out at strategic intervals throughout the journey to keep excitement levels high and spirits lifted.


7. Travel Journal: If you have older children, encourage your kids to document their travel adventures with a travel journal or notebook. Provide them with colored pencils or markers to doodle, write, or jot down their favourite memories from the trip.



So there you have it – a comprehensive packing list to ensure a smooth and enjoyable journey with your little ones. And don't forget to sneak in a Crafty Case for an extra dose of entertainment that's sure to delight both kids and parents alike. Bon voyage!
