As our toddler continues to grow I have been not only bringing activities for the plane, but also the hotel room. For a majority of our trips we have been using our books, plane activities, ipad apps, and toy cars for play in the hotel room. We tend to travel to places with beaches and pools so we spend a lot of time outdoors. However for Thanksgiving and Christmas we will be traveling to places with snow. So I have started to brainstorm a bit more about hotel activities especially during the winter season.
Our little guy will play anywhere as long as he has a toy car, construction truck, or train. I found this great travel car mat that will give him a 'defined car play area'. Plus it fit in your suitcase and is super light Alex Little Hands Play Mat
I also always bring a reusable sticker book that has come with us on every trip since DMC was 1.5 yr old. The reusable sticker book has four different scenes (construction, airport, train, and under the sea theme) Melissa & Doug Reusable Stickers
We are still going strong with our Playdoh Firetruck...this comes on the plane and DMC still plays with it in the hotel. This was a gift for his second birthday and has been on three flights already.
The construction trucks that we travel with will fit in your purse (there's 5 of them), so they tend to come to restaurants with us as well. DMC loves them so much they live on the train table at home too. Another bonus he uses them on the plane to play with playdoh.

DMC is really interested in interactive books especially hidden flaps, here are some great interactive books that always come with us.
