What do we love in a travel toy? Small, entertaining and no batteries. One of our favorite finds is the collection of toys from Z Wind Ups. Measuring just a few inches, these toys are perfect for stashing in a backpack. They don'??t use batteries, electricity, or high technology--just kid power. Simply wind them up and sit back and enjoy the show.

When we got a batch to test, we were met with squeals of delight and the "Again! Again!" chant from my 2 year old. They have hundreds to pick from--I'm just showing a few. And the price? Most are under $5. Perfect for a little in flight entertainment or for goody bags. Ingenuity and innovation--it's all here. Shop Z Wind Ups full line here.

Momtrends was not paid for this post. We did get six toys and we're not sharing.
