We love to travel as a family! Exploring new cities, countries, cultures and cuisines is so exciting, especially when traveling with curious little ones. I am always on the lookout for ways to make the travel experience more interactive and entertaining, which is why I am a big fan of travel guides for kids.

We recently came across these Zig Zag Travel Guides and absolutely love them! The layout is simple and the illustrations are beautiful. The guide consists of a deck of cards, a map and a couple of postcards.

Little M, Baby M and I love reading through the cards and mapping out all of the places we would like to visit.

Kids can read about landmarks and attractions ahead of time, which gives them more to look forward to and allows parents to feel a little more prepared about navigating a new city with little ones in tow.

Zig Zag guides are available for Rome, San Francisco, Paris and New York City.
