Lots of Fun Car Activities-For Summer Vacation (If the kids are happy, Mom's happy)

A lot of  you are headed out for Summer Vacation in your car.  These kind of vacations can be wonderful. But sometimes they have their "I'm bored" moments for the kids.  But, if you come prepared you might not hear that phrase as much this trip.  Some of my favorite things kids say while traveling in the car:

She touched me

He's breathing my air

You're in my space

Mom, he won't stop touching me

Are we there yet?

He's sitting on me

I'm hungry

I think I'm going to be sick

There's nothing to do!

I'm bored

I'm hot

I'm cold

Can you turn the radio up

Can you turn the radio down

I've got to go to the bathroom, right now!

When are we stopping to eat?

Don't get me wrong,..you will probably still hear some if not all of these things on your car trip but if you've got something up your sleeve, you may hear them less.  We've gathered together some fun ideas for you to take with you on your trip.  Keep your notebook with all your ideas and your "fun bag" with you at all times for this could be the trip that they remember as "one of the really great ones"

The shoe bag is a very valuable tool in the car....Really?  Really!   It will keep everything organized, off the floor and off the seats where they can be sat on and broken, and best of all if is right in front of the child where they can reach whatever they want!  A clean car is a happy car!  SOURCE

Get the fun game "I Spy" for your next car trip. It will keep the kids very busy looking in passing cars and at the people on the streets etc. 3 Pages in each color. I love how there is a picture AND a word on one of the sheets. That way the older kids can use the same cards as the younger ones.
