54 for 8 Year olds in the TRAVEL TOYS Category
Travel Toys should be one of our most popular categories but it seems parents today just give the kids a handheld game or DVD and that is enough. But we disagree. We love road-trips and do not cringe when the kids say Are we there yet? Instead, we invest a lot of time finding the best travel toys to keep the kids engaged, having fun and learning. We take the time to test everything and match each travel toy to the ability of a child. We love travel toys because they help to pass the time, encourage open ended, imaginative and fun play. Remember, it is not just about getting to where you are going, it is the journey that can be just as much fun. When looking at which travel toys to stock at ebeanstalk, we consider these three criteria:
Quality: If it is coloring books for younger kids or games for the older kids, it has to be Quality First. We only promote the highest quality toys on our site so that you can be sure they will stand the test of travel.
Neat and Clean and Easy to Pack: If the travel toy has lots of pieces, they must pack up easily. If it is a game, they must be small. If it is arts and crafts it has to be neat.
Age Appropriateness: Make sure the travel toys are matched with the right age. At Ebeanstalk, our experts have categorized every toy to a specific age even if our recommendation is different from the manufacturer. And if you do not get this right, you are in for a long trip.
Helpful Hint: Because of the short attention span of kids these days, we recommend getting a few toys or games. Just to make sure the kids are fully entertained.
