My small one has only ever played bubble-breaker on my phone. Have looked at old game-boy thingies on Ebay, but for some unexplained reason, they are all 'paypal only'. Would like to try out something lower down the expenditure scale before shelling out for a DS. Wotcher recommend?<br/><br/>I am afraid that my travel interest strategies are somewhat woeful in comparison with the gems stated here. My sole effort involves Kinder Eggs (do you have those in the US?) and getting hypertensive and depressed trying to fit together the flying squirrel/dragster combi, hidden within the chocolate shell, which comes in a hundred pop-out droppable sections.<br/><br/>But then...the furthest I've travelled with my five-year-old is to Ikea, which is an hour and a half away. You guys are real professionals! Am takimg note for my next Ikea trip. I feel bad. My small one has only ever played bubble-breaker on my phone.

But then…the furthest I’ve travelled with my five-year-old is to Ikea, which is an hour and a half away. You guys are real professionals! Am takimg note for my next Ikea trip.

Nice ideas. As I am happily at the "bring your own book and nintendo DS stage" I don't have the same problems. But it does surprise me how much Boy enjoys the GPS device.
