Coloring is always a hit. Our Bellybees Coloring Books are thoughtfully designed with thick lines, simple shapes, and delightful themes—from animals to shapes and seasonal fun.

Great for: road trips, hotel downtime, or airplane tray tables
Mess-free and compact, these kits promote fine motor skills and imaginative play.
4. “I Spy” Treasure Hunts
Make waiting time fun with a DIY “I Spy” list. Use what’s around you—“Find something red,” “Spot a triangle,” “Look for a bird.” It builds observation skills and makes any environment feel like an adventure.
Level up with our Color of the Day Flashcards from Bellybees. Have your child match the card to something nearby!
5. Story Time Swap
Bring along a tiny book or flashcard story set. Read aloud or ask your child to make up their own story from the pictures.
Bonus learning: This supports storytelling, sequencing, and emotional expression.
6. Sticker Surprise Pack
Stickers never get old. Create a travel-size sticker surprise kit using reusable sticker books or a sticker roll. They’re perfect for decorating notebooks, trays, or even the cover of their Bellybees Activity Book!
We often include stickers in our kits, so keep those for your next outing!
7. Quiet Time Play Mats
Laminate a few themed placemats or play mats (roads, farms, letters) and stash them in your bag. Use toy cars, animal figurines, or flashcards to interact with the mat.
Wrap-Up: Play Doesn’t Have to Pause
With the right tools, you can turn waiting time into playtime—without lugging around a toy chest. At Bellybees, we believe in playful learning wherever life takes you. Our activity books, craft kits, flashcards, and coloring books are designed with busy families in mind—because magic happens in the little moments too.
