Quiet toys/activities
These are SO fun! They’re quiet, can squish into a carry on, and the sensory aspect is amazing. Even as an adult I think squeezing and pulling on them is fun.
Goliath Jelly Blox Creative Kit - 20 Blocks
So good for 12mos-4yo’s. Keep it put away and only pull it out for church and they will looooove it.
Exorany Busy Board Montessori Toys for Toddlers
Any quiet and non messy crafts are a hit for our church bag!
Cut Out Paper Dolls: 76 Outfits Coloring Book
Little People are the perfect side character toys to bring to church! My kiddos love having a handful of characters to play with on the pew 😅
Fisher-Price Little People Disney Mickey & Friends 6-Piece Figure Set for Toddlers & Kids
PUZZLES!! If you don’t mind your kids sitting on the floor, this is a great activity for ages 4+
I cut off the small picture on the box and store puzzles in quart size bags. My 6yo will bring 2 or 3 and spend quite a while just doing puzzles 🥰
Ceaco Kids Deluxe 100 Piece Lisa Perry Jungle, Sea and Sky Glow Interlocking Jigsaw Puzzle
We have two of these little sets and my 6yo loves them. The plastic can be a little loud, so I would say good for church depending on how quietly your child plays 😅
Polly Pocket Cozy Dreamland Lamb Compact Playset with 1 Micro Doll and Pet Unicorn, Travel Toy with Food & Styling Accessories
These magnet dress ups are great for church or airplanes
Bluey Wooden Magnetic Playset
Fidgets
I LOVE this toy. Fun for all ages as a fidget/sensory toy. The older they are, the longer they play with it.
Sensory Fidget Toys Silicone Board 15 Strings
Any age could use this, but I’d say ages 5+ could figure it out without an adult.
Spark & Wow Calm Down Threading Boards Set
These are wooden! And such a good busy activity for staying quiet ✅
Fisher-Price Wood Lacing Cards Tiny Garden
Coloring
Specifically the BLANK paper. You can print whatever you want on these, or cut them into half sheets to take up less room.
Crayola Color Wonder Mess Free Pages 50ct
You can only use these on color wonder paper. These are great for situations where you do NOT want your kids to make a mess. Airplane, church, restaurant, drs offices, etc.
Crayola Color Wonder Marker Refill Set 20ct
Kanga Toys has a few of these! Great way to remind kiddos where we are and why we’re there.
KangaToys Water Reveal Bible Stories Book
This version is good for toddlers. I also like the version with the stylus!!!
Boogie Board Scribble n’ Play LCD Drawing Board
Supplies
My advice is to put all your “special” things in a bag and only bring them out at church. That way they’ll be focused (quiet) at church. ✅
Mackenzie Brendan Safari Animals Backpacks
These are great for organizing ANYWHERE in your house/life. I do love them for grabbing things quickly for church, the car, the drs office, etc.
