A family trip starts long before you arrive. There are places to talk about, bags to pack and excited questions from the back seat. With Wanderlings, that anticipation can become part of the adventure.

Our London, Wales and Blackpool printable activity packs give children a screen-free way to explore the places they’re visiting. Use them to build excitement before a holiday, keep little hands busy along the way, or enjoy a quiet moment after a day out.

London: Make a Big-City Adventure Their Own

For children, London can feel wonderfully enormous. Red buses, busy streets and familiar landmarks suddenly become real places to discover.

The Wanderlings London activity pack brings a little of that excitement to the table. It’s a simple way to introduce the destination before you travel and give children something of their own to enjoy alongside the family’s plans.

Try starting with a conversation: What would you most like to see in London? Let your child draw their answer, then revisit it after the trip. What surprised them? What would they like to explore next time?

A few printed pages and some pencils can also come in handy during the journey or a quiet afternoon back at your accommodation.

Wales: Leave Room for Wonder

A trip to Wales might mean coastal walks, castle visits or days surrounded by green countryside. There’s plenty of room for children to imagine stories and notice the world around them.

Our Wales activity pack adds a screen-free activity to those family adventures. Bring it out before departure to get everyone talking about the trip, or save it for a slower moment between outings.

You can extend the fun with a simple family question: If you could design your own castle, what would it look like? A secret entrance? A dragon lookout? A very important room for snacks?

The best holiday conversations often start with a little imagination.

Blackpool: Bring on the Seaside Adventure

Blackpool brings a different kind of excitement: a seaside break filled with things to see and stories to take home.

The Wanderlings Blackpool activity pack gives children a printable companion for the trip. Take a few pages along for the journey, keep them handy for a rainy afternoon, or use them when everyone needs a pause.

After your day out, ask each family member to draw their favourite moment. It could be something spectacular—or something as simple as an ice cream by the sea. Those little details are often what make a holiday memorable.

Simple to Pack, Easy to Use

You don’t need to organise every minute of a family holiday. Sometimes it helps just to have something ready.

Before you leave:

Print the pages you’d like to take.
Pack pencils or crayons in a small pouch.
Keep the pages in a folder or clipboard.
Save a few for quieter moments during the trip.

Children can dip in and out at their own pace. There’s no need to finish everything, and no pressure to turn the holiday into a lesson.

A Little Adventure at Home, Too

You don’t need a trip booked to enjoy exploring somewhere new.

Choose London, Wales or Blackpool for an afternoon of imaginary travel. Find the destination on a map, talk about how you might get there, and let your child decide what they would pack.

It’s a simple way to bring a little travel-inspired curiosity into a weekend at home.
