Trip Jones: Los Angeles, introduces kids to the excitement of travel and exploration with a hands-on guide to one of America’s most iconic cities: Los Angeles. Following the adventures of brother-and-sister duo, Trip and Jet, this interactive guide takes young explorers through LA’s hidden gems and iconic spots, all while encouraging the development of real-life skills like planning, critical thinking, and adaptability.
The Los Angeles Kids’ Guide turns kids into junior trip planners, giving them opportunities to map out their own adventures in the city. By choosing what to explore—whether it’s famous landmarks, local food spots, or beaches and piers—kids practice organizational skills, learn to prioritize, and understand time management and make decisions.
A hopeful Los Angeles itinerary for our kid traveler:
Breakfast at Randy’s Donuts… YUM!
A stop at The Last Bookstore in search of the Flying Bookcase and of course the Santa Monica Pier to ride the solar powdered Ferris Wheel and check out some kites on the beach.
Next up, a tour of Warner Bros Studios to hang out in some fake neighborhoods and then dinner and none other than In and Out Burger.
Kids are encouraged to think critically and evaluate each stop with included stickers. The guide’s format sparks curiosity by providing interesting facts and trivia, and scanning a QR code brings them even more information to assist with planning and learning. This makes research a breeze and encourages them to ask questions and find information.
Traveling, even through a guidebook, teaches the importance of flexibility and adaptability. Kids learn to adjust their plans, make quick decisions, and remain open to unexpected scenarios. Too expensive? Too far? Big rain storm? This flexibility can teach essential skills for developing resilience.
Trip and Jet’s dynamic dialogue and storytelling on each card bring a fun approach and make learning enjoyable. The Los Angeles Kids’ Guide is an interactive journey that brings options and information to exploring Los Angeles. We can’t wait to see what happens in more cities!
