Last week’s most viewed post in our link party was Creating a Child’s Day Pack from Echoes of Laughter.
This is a great way to not get stuck carrying all of your kid’s “stuff” while out and about- I need to do this for my kids!
This idea (and our upcoming family road trip to Utah) had me wondering what other tips for traveling with kids I could find online. This is the list I came up with, which means I better get busy, ’cause I want to make them all!
Map out your road trip and mark milestones along the way!
Child’s drawings from Housing a Forest
Using felt and some Velcro to the back of a matchbox car from Once a Month Mom
Free printable from The Dating Divas
How ’bout livening up the car ride a bit with…
Road Trip Bingo, from Homemaking Expert
Special Treat Boxes, from PMK Crafts
Glow sticks for nighttime car rides from I am Momma Here me Roar.
Create Keepsakes for traveling, like:
A DVD case turned writing tablet or journal, from Stacy Vaughn
A darling travel journal with free printable, from Eighteen25
Vacation rocks, from Quarry Orchard
A shoe organizer on the back of the driver’s seat, from Martha
Packing in Bags to keep outfits together, from All Things Simple
Personalized pillowcases with a pocket and strap from Amazing Mae
And one of my favorite traveling ideas to date was created by my creative SIL. These road trip travel trays double as a chalkboard and are easy to put away since they slide right under your car seats! The options are endless!
. . . . .
Any of those ideas strike your fancy? I’ll be working on creating a few before our road trip, that is for sure!
