This 36-piece puzzle for ages 3 and up features life under the sea. It comes in a travel pouch and is an ideal size for an airplane tray table. It even comes with a postcard with the completed puzzle art for your kid to mail to a friend or family member from your trip.
“These are the best puzzles I’ve found for my 3.5-year-old that aren’t large floor puzzles,” an Amazon reviewer says. “The pieces fit very nicely into each other and are not too hard to put together. They fit so snug that you can carefully pick up the puzzle whole when done.”
“They clean up/store easily with the travel pouch and will be nice for restaurants (instead of phones and tablets) because of their size and portability,” another Amazon reviewer says.

Lego
Lego toys are always a hit with kids during the holiday season. What we like about this kit is its versatility. You can build a red fox, owl or squirrel using the included 667 pieces. The animals you build are poseable — the fox can move its head and paws, the squirrel has a poseable head and ears and the owl’s head turns 360 degrees. When you’re done enjoying your build, you can take it apart and make one of the other animals.
“If you have a Lego fanatic like I do, the 3 in 1 builds are great,” says one Amazon reviewer of the 4.9-star-rated Lego set. “This is a great concept to keep your Lego builder engaged without having to buy more Legos (you get three builds!) and has encouraged [the] kiddo to rethink his Legos to build in many ways.
Find this kit at Amazon for $49. Reviewers suggest the final builds are so cute, you may want to buy more than one set so you don’t have to choose which to build.

The rules behind Wavelength are simple, but addictive. One person gives their team a clue that fits somewhere on a certain spectrum — for example, they might give the clue “coffee” for a spectrum of hot to cold. The rest of the team then needs to pinpoint exactly where on the hot-to-cold spectrum they think coffee is. The more in sync the team is with the clue giver, the more points you score.
Reviewers love that the game is quick to learn and easy to set up — the entire thing is played inside the box. Anywhere from 2 to 12 people can play.
“I can’t recommend CMYK Wavelength enough,” says one Amazon reviewer about the 4.7-star-rated game. “It’s a guaranteed hit for game nights, offering an experience that’s super fun, engaging and totally memorable. If you’re on the lookout for a game that bridges the gap between serious and silly, that accommodates both small and large groups, and that promises endless hours of entertainment, this is the one.”
Find CYMK Wavelength at Amazon for $31, reduced from $40. It’s recommended for ages 14 and up.
