Stickers as Travel Activity
We’ve recently completed two short trips, one by plane and one by train. On both occasions, The Boy had his own small backpack to carry. He was able to choose a few small toys and activities to take along. This worked quite well and freed up a bit of room in our own carry-ons. The best activity we had on both trips was our little baggie of stickers (cut from old address labels) and a few sheets of blank paper. The Boy was quite well occupied pulling the stickers off their backing and ‘decorating’ the paper with them. This activity was cheap (free actually) and very light-weight.
Old Return Address Labels
Although it may be tedious work to cut the picture off old return address labels, they can be put to good use as stickers for your child. Some relatives recently moved and gave The Boy all of their old return address labels to play with. We cut the name and address portion off and now have a good-sized bag of fun stickers for him.
