✈️ Going Away? Don’t Forget the Activity Bag!

The countdown to school holidays has officially begun—and whether you’re jetting off to the beach, braving the motorway to Grandma’s, or just planning a few fun day trips, there’s one thing that can make or break your journey…

The kids’ activity bag. ?

Let’s face it—travel with children is never boring. But with a little prep (and a few clever fillers), you can keep them calm, happy, and entertained wherever summer takes you.

? What’s an Activity Bag?

Think of it as a mini boredom-busting kit. It’s packed with quiet, screen-free entertainment for children to use on planes, in cars, at restaurants, or during downtime on holiday. Best of all? It’s small enough to fit in your handbag or carry-on luggage.

At Party Bag Kids, we’ve seen how these little bags can make a huge difference to family holidays—especially when you include the right fillers.

✏️ What to Include in a Holiday Activity Bag

Here’s what we recommend for a stress-free travel kit:

  • Our A6 or A5 Activity Booklets – With over 35 classic themes like Dinosaurs, Ballet, Safari, Gaming, and Football, there’s something for every child’s interest. Each booklet is packed with fun puzzles, colouring pages, and games—ideal for solo play.
  • Mini Crayon or Pencil Packs – Compact, mess-free, and travel-friendly.
  • Stickers or Reusable Sticker Sheets – Great for creative play in restaurants or hotel rooms.
  • Compact Toys or Fidgets – Think mini slinkies, stretchy animals, or snap bands—just enough to keep hands busy without being disruptive.
  • A Favourite Treat or Snack – Because even the best-planned kit needs a tasty surprise!

? Why Parents Love Them

- Keeps children occupied without screens
- Encourages creativity and quiet play
- Lightweight, compact, and great for carry-ons
- A little moment of peace for grown-ups!

Whether you're packing for the plane, prepping for long car journeys, or simply heading out for an ice cream and a walk, your summer survival strategy starts with the right activity bag.
