the perfect activity for on the go (or with white furniture) - markers that only colour on special paper, a pad of said paper, and a case to carry it all.

favourite travel bags
my favourite suitcase, carry-on and a couple of personal items
a dream to pack and open - top stays up, fits way more stuff than a traditional clamshell, AND it has a brake to avoid rolling

love the laptop pocket on the outside
The Executive Carry-On
this bag might be perfect - wipes clean, fits so much, laptop sleeve. I used it as my travel diaper bag and as a work bag back home.
Baggu Small Cloud Carry-On
such a good bag. great personal item if you're travelling with a racquet, but the racquet sleeve also detaches. can be carried as a tote or a backpack!
