Nowadays whenever I take the kids out, I’d bring along a few toys (mostly cars) and little books with me.

I put them into a little bag or at times, I just throw them into my own bag.

Though it’s a pretty obvious thing to do (ie. to bring along toys your kids like whenever you go out with them), I somehow haven’t been doing so.

Perhaps it’s because since Anya was much younger she can find ways to ‘entertain’ herself ? (and thus there’s no need for me to bring along any toys with me).

And so when I noticed the little bags filled with toys my friends bring along for their sons to play, I started thinking of bringing one of my own too.

And. Things work out really well! For Vai especially.

He - who often keeps ME busy when we’re on the go - now keeps himself busy playing with his toys on the bus, on the train, and even when he’s just waiting and sitting on his pram.

And if he used to want to get down and walk around the restaurant after he finishes his meal, he can now stay quite a bit longer at the table, and on the baby chair! Simply playing with his cars or creating imaginary stories with them.

Really. It’s been such a big help and I’d recommend this toy-bag idea to any parents I know.
