Playing & Keeping Kids Entertained on the Go
Bored? Not with us.
Long car rides, waiting times at the airport, rain at the beach - sometimes all it takes is a good idea at the right time. The good news: Toddlers don't need expensive gadgets to keep them occupied. They just need moments and a little preparation on your part.
In the Car & While Traveling
- Singing along to songs - it sounds simple, but it's fun (for everyone involved)
- "I Spy" games with colors or shapes - can be played without words
- A small sticker book or coloring book to take along
- The stuffed animal “comes along” and gets its own story
- The “Window Game”- What do you see outside? Clouds, trees, tractors - everything is exciting
- Travel bingo: look for simple things (red car, cow, bridge…) - it’s fun for parents, too
At the Destination & While Waiting
- Discovering Nature: Collecting rocks, marveling at leaves - toddlers don’t need a structured activity; they need time and space
- Soap bubbles - the all-around solution for any situation
- Eating together as a ritual: Even on the go, meals can become a mindful moment. Alete Kinderteller - whether risotto with pumpkin, spaghetti Bolognese or mild chili con carne - are ready in 2 minutes, contain no added salt, are organic and taste just like homemade. Small plate, big moment
For quieter moments:
- Bring along picture books with simple stories
- Finger plays and clapping games, such as “All the Birds Fly High”
- Listen to music and dance along - this can even be done on your lap
It doesn't have to be perfect. Sometimes the best thing you can do when you're out and about is just to be there and see what happens together.
Snack Break: The Highlight of the Day
Sometimes the best activity is really simple: a quick snack break that feels like a moment of pure enjoyment. Alete Schnitties are ideal for on the go: individually wrapped, sweetened only with fruit, and organic. Or try Alete Obsties (e.g., blueberry-banana with yogurt or strawberry-banana with yogurt): freeze-dried, light, with no added sugar, and perfect for little hands. Just toss them in your on-the-go bag, and your break will become your favorite moment.
And when they get really hungry?
Then Alete Milch-Getreide-Mahlzeiten (e.g., vanilla, banana, or cocoa) are the smart choice: no refrigeration needed, ready to drink straight from the cup. No fuss, a full meal. As a substitute for spoonable milk-and-cereal porridge, for on the go and at home.
