SMILE Re: Traveling with Children - Car Tips

~Portable DVD players are the obvious choice, but some (including me!) don’t own them.

~I let my DD pack her own “car bag” this year. I gave her one backpack and let her put any toys in it she wanted. Some were totally impractical for the car (blocks), but I didn’t intervene. Packing her own bag made her feel like a big girl, and she never once complained that I forgot her favorite animal, or whatever.

~I packed her a “secret surprise goody bag” for the car. Hid it under my seat, so she didn’t have any idea where things were coming from. I included new coloring books, pack of crayons, pens, stickers, $1-store books, and other little $1-store surprises. I was able to pull these out randomly when the boredom set in, and it was fun for her to get a new surprise every 60-miles or so.

~Car bingo! We bought a set of these this year and DD played with this for hours! You can also make your own reusable ones: Draw them up or print them online. Slip into a clear page protector and use crayons or dry-erase markers to mark the items. This will clean up, and make them reusable.

~Don’t forget to pack the snacks, and a pack of wet wipes!

Drive at night, if possible! That's what we're doing in 2 weeks - it's an 11 hour drive, without stops. We are leaving at bedtime and hopefully will not have to stop too often.

I agree with the "special bag" thing - my MIL mailed my DD a package today full of activities for the car - a travel Doodle Pro, gel pens, crayons, coloring books, stickers, etc.

We always played the Alphabet game as kids - anything outside the car counts - signs, license plates, etc. Count from A to Z.

Play the State License Plate game - see how many of the 50 states you can find.

We received dry earse boards a week per to driving to ten hours to VA. They keep my children quiet for about three hours. It was wonderful.

I know they are really cheap at Big Lots and Walmart. They are only about and 8x 11 size so they fit in their lap perfectly. Plus I bought lap boards that are in the baby section. It made eatting in the car much easier as well as coloring and such.

Nothing that's already been said, unfortunately!! We are HUGE fans of the travel Doodle Pros, the kids (well, the 5 year old, the 1 year old just loves to "make meh") love being able to draw what they see and erase as needed. Also, we have a couple Disney song CDs that DH and I will rock out to that automatically calms the cranky kid! Good luck to all traveling soon :)
