I am traveling with three children 1000 miles this week. So I thought travel ideas would be great to post for others who need to entertain children.
Here is a list of items:
1. Crayons and Scissors
2. Foil-They can create all sorts of things with the foil, plus you can reuse or recycle the foil.
3. Sewing Cut Outs-Use cereal boxes to cut out shape and use a paper hole punch to make holes around the shape. Sew with yarn or shoe strings.
4. Activity Books
5. Books
6. Wrap up everyday items they love. The kids have more fun unwrapping the presents, then playing with what is inside the package. Only unwrap one every hour, otherwise you will need a lot of presents. Of course I did reuse Christmas paper.
7. Felt Board and Felt-I covered a mounting board with felt. Have the kids cut out shapes. It will keep them busy for an hour hopefully. Then when they get home they can decorate the felt with fabric paint.
8. Car Bingo- I found a car bingo on line, which a printed on heavy stock paper and laminated. I brought window markers to use on the cards.
9. Playing Cards or Uno
10. Put everything in a back pack so they can carry their items and not you!
11. Many stores also offer magnetic car games to purchase.
12. If everything else fails, video games and movies.
Good luck traveling!
