This is a big gift, there’s no doubt, but it’s a serious score for a kid who takes their travel seriously. Your girl or boy will relish the opportunity to capture their experiences on camera, and this starter bundle makes things even easier, as it includes both a memory card and a head strap for easy filming. There are lots of GoPro options out there, but this one is just like a point and shoot camera, making video production simple with just a click. If your child is more advanced technologically, go ahead and get her a more advanced version of the GoPro so she can adjust exposure and mess with other fancy settings to make all of her videos Facebook-worthy. My 6-year-old got his first GoPro this fall and he needs to take videos of just about everything—that is if he can wrestle his gift away from his father,

I won’t lie to you, we got this book and my kiddo is obsessed with it. We have to read at least three pages before bed each night (if not more) and he loves every second. I love it because it’s not just a chance for us to read together, but a chance for us to learn together.

I don’t know about your travel situation, but my kiddo is constantly running out of juice for his electronics when we are in transit. It’s pure hell for everyone in earshot when that damn tablet goes dark. In the car. On the plane. Once you are on the move it’s seriously hard to get things charged, so plan ahead. The RAVPower Portable Charger is a great stocking stuffer, and while it won’t be the highlight of the present opening, it will be awesome and incredibly valuable once your family hits the road.

Help your child take pride in her travels and invest in a stellar travel map to help her record and relish her own travels. Get some stickers to go with it. Every kid loves stickers.
