Dr. Toy's Travel Fun
On your last plane ride, was there a child crying or restlessly pushing on the seat behind you? Before you take a trip with your child, carefully prepare ahead to avoid upsetting other passengers, your child, or yourself.

Inside put a selection of the following: a notebook, coloring book, box of crayons, washable markers, stamp set and pad, one or two handheld games, a tape recorder and tapes, a travel game, a couple of books, an assortment of LEGOs, a couple of hand puppets, a travel Etch-A-Sketch®, maps, and other small favorite toys.
