We are preparing for the road trip of the century and I am looking for road trip ides for the boys- mostly for Emitt, since Tyse is easily entertainable.
I am trying to make little carseat trays for them to use that are magnetic, so magnet games or things like that may be great...
just anything to keep them busy! PLEASE! any ideas would be great!

The one thing that Mckartnee loved was the invisible ink coloring books. She also loves sticker books, and they seem to keep her attention longer than other things. Good luck, I will let you know if I can think of anything else. Some kids are definitely harder to entertain than others. I hope it goes well for you.
I have some lacies you can borrow!
Sticker books are good too. Invest in colorwonder.
Stop occasionally and play tag.
My brother drives at night and gives yhe kids Benedryll...nice huh? but apparently it works
Love the background Beka. Next year come with us on the road trip to Manti it is a lot of fun - June 2009!
File folder games work well. If you have finger puppets or regular puppets you can use them to sing songs. Children's music helps too.
For Nauvoo we did stickers in cute little notebooks, new coloring books (is he too little for this?), lots of yummy treats and MOVIES!! I bought two new movies and brought lots of others. Thank goodness for a DVD player in the car. It really did save us.
Hi Beka, it's Cherity (from the ward!).
On our past road trips with young kids we've used those great Viewfinders and the mini magna-doodles. Our girls LOVED them!
Give 'em a try and see if they work.
It was fun seeing you at enrichment night on Tuesday!
:)
I found that after playing for about 30 mins with the toys, my kids would fall asleep on our road trips. Only to waken just in time for a potty break. Then they wanted food and music. We always made sure to point out all of the farm animals we saw and spent some time making farm animal noises. We are easily entertained at our house! Shoot me an email, yours was one that got cancelled by Qwest. Have fun this weekend!
Things that work that are quiet: coloring books, mardi gras beads with a zipper pouch (Lareine likes to take them in and out for hours), The Friend, new snacks, and any new toys. Stickers seem to always end up everywhere, but they are entertaining. Try some different kids cds. Good luck, it sounds like a fun adventure.
