Toys with a Purpose


Sometimes toys have a specific purpose, other than just fun. They might be designed to help with motor skills, build your child's imagination, or give specific educational boosts.

Imaginative toys are ones that allow your child to grow his or her imagination. You'll find toys like these listed as building sets or blocks.

Using toys that allow children to create their own little play world encourages them learn how to work pieces together.

Plus, with building sets, each time they play with them, they can make something new.

When you give your child toys that engage their imagination, it taps into the creative thinking part of their brain.

If you've ever traveled in a car with kids, then you're familiar with the "are we there yet?" question.

That's because kids have a shorter attention span than adults.

While the destinations can be fun for kids, the journey from one point to another is difficult for them.

That's why you want to occupy their time with toys that can make the traveling more fun for them.

Figurines make great toys to take on a car trip. Kids love to take their favorite action heroes or princesses along with them whenever they're away from home.

Stuffed animals are good, too - and so are animals that offer interaction, such as educational games like counting, or learning colors.

Activity boards are some of the best travel toys you can take with you because they offer so many different actions in one toy.

Plus, they come in handy traveling cases to keep up with the various pieces.


Magnetic drawing games and art sets would also be good toys to bring along.

For older kids, you can bring along movies or educational videos and use your car's DVD player or a portable DVD player to entertain the kids.

Keeping their minds occupied helps the trip to go faster.

Now if you're traveling by plane, you don't want to bring along toys that have sounds to them unless you have a way to mute the sound or allow your child to use earbuds.

For babies, you can use the play phones or puppet sets.

For toddlers, there are laptop toys that are just for kids that are actually educational as well as fun.

They can learn various subjects, read stories and listen to music.

Everything that a real laptop can do - only it's scaled down to a child's developmental level.

If you're traveling with teens, you know how quickly boredom can set in.

Even if they have their music devices with them, at some point, they'll want something to do.

You can keep boredom at bay for them in a car or a plane with toys like puzzles, card games, magnetic games or reading devices.
