2. Waterproof camera
One of the best travel gifts for kids is a camera to document their trips. A waterproof camera is a great choice as it gives the flexibility to be used anywhere you travel especially if you are spending time by the water.
Our young kids have the Fuji Film XP140 which is not only waterproof, but also dust proof and shockproof, which is perfect for little ones.

3. Beach Towel
Every little explorer needs a beach towel, even if you prefer to swim in the lake or river. We love the sand free beach towels so we don’t bring the beach home with us.
They are light weight and fold up compact too making them one of the best travel gifts for kids that are practical!
Check out our list of the Best Sand Free Towels.
4. Ride on Suitcase
Every child needs their own little suitcase, and the Trunki ride on suitcases are perfect for little ones.
Designed to be used as hand luggage, kids can pack their Trunki with all of their favourite things and either pull it along themselves or ride on board.
There are several colours and designs to choose from, as well as the opportunity to design your own too.

5. Snorkel set
If you travel to beach destinations often, or you live by the sea, a snorkel set is a must have travel gift for kids. They may only use the mask initially while they learn, but once they learn to use the snorkel itself, it will be a game changer for beach days.
You don’t need to be heading on a holiday to the tropics, kids can use their snorkel any time to explore underwater whether you are at the beach, or even at the pool.
We love the Ninja Shark full face snorkels for kids which are designed for little ones from 3 years old. The full face covering allows for easy breathing and is much more comfortable than your traditional snorkel.

Flexi Sunnies have a large range of styles from your classic sunglasses with the standard or mirrored lenses, aviators, and even heart and flowered shaped sunglasses too.

7. Step Tracker
These are perfect for days when you are walking around a lot. A step tracker will track your steps and the kids can count along with it to see how many steps they have done each day.
It is a great way to keep them motivated even when they are tired. Most also double as a smart watch too so the kids can learn to tell the time too.

8. Headphones
Headphones are a great travel gift for kids that will save your sanity and those around you. They are great for flights as not all airlines provide child sized headphones, and they are great for if the kids are using their I-pad, Tablet, or any other device so that they can keep the noise to themselves.
We have the In Flight Buddy Headphones , which are great for on the aeroplane. They come in some really fun designs and are extremely comfortable. There are also the Wireless Buddy Headphones which are great for in the car or at home.

9. Backpack
If you have a little one who loves to be independent, a backpack is great for letting them carry around their own belongings. Saves you from going through your own bag to find what they want, and keeps all of their favourite things in one place. There are so many kids backpacks in different colours and styles. Make sure to choose one with a few different pockets and a drink holder on the side for convenience.
