If you have ever traveled with kids, you know they often want to bring their entire collection of toys with them. It is a battle of wills, of lost toys, and of hotel boredom. However, there are a variety of travel toys that you can take with you to survive, not the trip, but the time in the hotel.
Most parents worry about keeping kids entertained on the plane, but I worry about how to entertain them in the hotel room. So one of these Take Along toys from Playmobil is essential for a trip.

Plus, everything stores within the play structure itself, minimizing lost pieces.
