With summer right around the corner. I wanted to share some tips and ideas that I use for traveling with kids and keeping those little bodies busy.
{I shared this over at Mom on Time Out a month ago}Last summer we drove to Disney World {22 hour drive one way} so we needed lots of ideas for keeping the boys entertained.

I created a Travel Bag for both of my boys that included some of the basic things they will want in the car.
This little bag is the perfect size for in the car.
I actually purchased this one from Thirty-One and had my kids names embroidered on them.
Here is the goodies inside.
Here is the list of what is included in the bags.
-
DS, Charger & Games
-
Ipod & ear buds {the little round blue pouch on the top left}
-
Some books
-
Small Clip board with tablets {These are from The Dollar Tree}
-
Pencil Box {From The Dollar Tree}
-
Clorox Wipes & Sanitizer
-
Travel Game
-
Water Bottle
There Ipods are full of music as well as audio books
{Thanks, Jenn}, so they can spend an hour or more listening
to a book.
For the M&M game just give out a bag of M&M’s and have the kids guess how many are in the bag &
the number of each color.
I plan to just give them the snack sized bags & I laminated the answer sheet this so they can use a dry erase pen
and play this many times.
Another game that I have for them is Road Trip Scavenger Hunt. I printed this off from Momsminivan.com. If you are looking for lots of fun printables for the kids, head over there.
These are just a few of the ideas that we use when we travel. Being organized and prepared has made our trips
go so much smoother.
What a great idea?! Is that a Thirty One Bag you used? If so, I so love that bag! I have a bunch of them and we use them for everything.
Great idea to give each child their own wipes!
Such a great idea Chrissy! I need some bags like that to organize our stuff. You are mom of the year 🙂
I always do goodie bags too but I hadn't seen the m&m game or the savenger hunt game. I'm adding those for next trip. Thanks for sharing. Great ideas.
Great ideas! I love the idea of laminating the activities to reuse throughout the trip. Megan
