I love road trips. I can ride for hundreds of miles just staring out of the window, listening to music, reading books, and talking with my family and friends. However, it wasn’t always that way. I, like most other kids, hated them when I was younger. Most kids simply do not have the attention span to sit still and reasonably quiet for a few hours. And with the holiday season coming up, most of us with kids will be traveling. Be prepared by reading this post by Jacquie Fisher at kcedventures for boredom busting road trip lifesavers:
-Have a roadside assistance membership. A flat tire, empty gas tank, or dead battery will ruin a trip in 0 seconds flat, especially if you don’t have a backup plan.
-Travel buckets- Here are all the details for making your own travel buckets and totes for your next trip!
-Have plenty of snacks and water ready.
-Play car games
-Talk about what you see out of the window
-Coloring and activity books
