Road Trip Tips with Kids 🚗

Описание: I am NOT a road trip expert, but I've done many a trips with my young kids and I am here to tell you less is more! IF you set your kids up with EVERYTHING you think they'll need to be entertained the whole trip (thinking they'll then leave you along for the road trip), then you're setting yourself up for failure. In my experience, my kids but through emerging QUICK and the you're stuck.

I keep a "boredom" bag up front that I will slowly pull activities put of ONE at a time. I try to make each activity last as long as I can. Of course we use iPads and @yotoplay_us players, music, & audiobooks, but even after a while my kids are bored with those.

Activity ideas:

•Water wow books
•Stop watches: time distance between McDonald's, how long it takes to go a mile, how long can you be quiet (my favorite 😜)
•clickers : count the number of a specific color car (each kid can count a different color), count semis, cows, etc.
•dry erase markers: great for older kids to write on windows, play games on the window, & easy to wipe up
•paper chain countdown: make a chain for each hour of the trip & take it off after each hour that passes. This is a great visual for kids with little concept of time

Road trippin' ain't easy as a parent, but we got this! 👊🏻
