6. Snorkel set

Ninja Shark Snorkle - Travel Gifts for Kids

If you love beach getaways, 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.

For younger kids we love 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.

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.

9. Headphone s

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.
