We just got back from a 1600 mile road trip that was not entirely unsuccessful. The kids did much better than I expected. A few of my favorite items:
1. Printable map: we checked off each state as we found the corresponding license plates. Educational and fun.
2. Chicken Socks Totally Tape
: hours of entertainment (hours!) for my 3 and 5 year old. My 3 year old needed help tearing, but had lots of fun applying the tape.More road trip ideas to come!
Ok, so I go for the zoombie approach to roadtrips. My kids each get a new book (which we know will last 5 minutes) and some plain white paper with a pencil. Mainly, I throw a movie in the the DVD player and say, "Enjoy!". Good for you for being the fun Mom!
ReplyDeleteDon't get me wrong - I will pull out the DVD player in moments of desperation. My "funness" arises only from necessity, my kids tend to get bored with videos way before my nap is over.
