Batteries Not Included! No-Tech Toys for Kiddos

Hi Cindy!

Below are some suggestions for non-tech toys that work great in the car:

I like this Magnetic Doddle Board in particular because it has a handle which makes it easier for little hands to hold onto.

The Aquadoddle Travel is both compact and another non-messy art activity for the car.

I also love this Magnetic Wand Number Maze from Melissa and Doug because it’s educational and interactive.

Books on tape are also wonderful!

HI Natalie!

A really great brand for non-tech toys at a reasonable price point is Melissa and Doug. Here are just a few examples:

https://www.amazon.com/Melissa-Doug-Cutting-Food-Hand-Painted/dp/B000GKD09C/ref=sr_1_18?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1526003772&sr=1-18&keywords=melissa+and+doug

https://www.amazon.com/Melissa-Doug-Band-Box-Clang/dp/B00005RF5C/ref=sr_1_21?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1526003772&sr=1-21&keywords=melissa+and+doug

https://www.amazon.com/Melissa-Doug-Geometric-Stacker-Educational/dp/B0006IRTU0/ref=pd_sim_21_10?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B0006IRTU0&pd_rd_r=26Q7NV767YFBX1TXKBFV&pd_rd_w=RBFaW&pd_rd_wg=W9Hu2&psc=1&refRID=26Q7NV767YFBX1TXKBFV

Blocks are a fantastic educational, non-tech toys that can be purchased for under $20.

https://www.amazon.com/Cubbie-Lee-Wooden-Building-Blocks/dp/B01LYOWW4U/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&qid=1526003439&sr=8-17&keywords=wooden+blocks

And some of the best non-tech toys for under $20 are sensory and art-based materials. Think crayons, stickers, paint, play dough (again Melissa and Doug are great for all of these items and available on Amazon!). Pinterest is also a great resource for making sensory activities with ingredients you have right in your home!

Great this is helpful thanks !
