Whether you're on a plane, in a car, at grandma's house or in a faraway hotel, nothing puts a damper on travel like losing some critical piece to a favorite toy. The solution? Pack toys without loose parts. Look for classic toys that use the magic of magnets, ring-bound cards for early learners, and self-contained play scenes with reusable stickers. These are equally awesome at home for their lost-part resistance and enjoyability, no batteries required.
