Despite your packing efforts, they still might be just as interested in the safety flight card or in-flight magazine

Books are always a favorite to pack for a trip — for babies, adults and all ages in between (but if you’re an adult traveling with a baby, don’t get your hopes up that you’ll actually get to read your book!). I always like to pack a couple new ones for my preschooler in his carry-on before a vacation. If you’re feeling stuck in a rut of what types of books to buy, I’m sharing 8 of our favorites.
1. Board books
These are tried and true for even the youngest baby because they’re easy to clean and hard to destroy.
2. Reusable sticker books
Emphasis on reusable. You don’t want to be scraping stickers off the airplane window.
3. Scratch and sniff books
Switch up your reading routine by having your little one use their sense of smell.
4. Mix-and-match books
Find the matching pictures, or use your imagination to create your own creatures.
5. Lift-the-Flap books
These books are a great way to engage small kids (and kill time on the plane!).
6. I Spy books
Tip: Before you purchase this type of book online, be sure to check the dimensions so it won’t take over your entire carry-on bag. Many of these types of books are fairly large.
7. Learn a language book
Traveling to a new country? These books are great way for little kids (and even adults!) to learn some key words.
8. Journal
Even if your child is too young to write, these are a fun activity if your child is old enough to carry on a conversation. These books ask questions so your kid can learn more about themselves. I promise their answers will be entertaining!
