We do have a DVD player in the car and will take a few movies- BUT-I do not anticipate the girls wanting to sit and watch 15hrs worth of Disney Princesses!
So....
I've been making their favorite "at-home" games "car-friendly"!
With a cookie tray and magnets I was able to transform most of their favorite things to do at home into car-friendly activities!
Guess Who:
Hi-Ho Cherry-O:
Candy Land:
Sorry:
Coloring:
Letters and Words:
Basically I took pictures of their favorite game's board, printed them off on 8x10 and laminated them.
EVERYTHING has magnets! The boxes with crayons, the boxes with magnetic letters, the game pieces (buttons), the game spinners...etc!
The cookie trays have a little magnetic clip to hold the game board or coloring pages in place. They also have a pencil holder stuck to the rim to hold the guess who card (so your opponent cannot see who you have).
I'm also going to make several "pop-it-when-you-see-it" bingo games using bubble wrap.
Games, coloring books, plain paper, board books and snacks will all fit nicely in this little box and sit between their car seats for the drive!
Casey may think that I am a little too organized at times but I personally think he is going to appreciate this OOD project! Obsessively-Organized Disorder- not a real thing but if it were- I would definitely have it!!!
I'm actually looking forward to the drive- may have to make my very own traveling cookie tray :)
We will give the car friendly activities a test run over Thanksgiving break when we head to Huntsville for a couple nights!!! Ill keep ya posted on how it works!
Until then- have happy times!!!
