Compact and portable picks tagged travel-friendly—road trips, flights, and restaurant bags.
Travel-friendly toys need to earn their space: small enough to pack, sturdy enough to survive a bag, and engaging enough to outlast a wait. This list focuses on items tagged travel-friendly, so you can build a go-kit without guessing.
Expect a mix of classics and clever formats—many of which work well at home too when you need a quiet activity on short notice.
