When traveling, world schooling and unschooling online games are often good to keep your child stimulated.
Some of the websites (mostly for older students but a few for younger) that offer online classes or activities. Many are fun games that teach you how to type, or to explore. Others incorporate education in a fun and interactive way to learn.
