Summer is here, and we know what that means- time to get your travel on. We also know that means many a chorus of “Are we there yet?” and “I’m BORED!” from the minions in the backseat. So before you begin your next trip, be prepared! Parents rejoice- you don’t just have to shove a tablet or video on for hours at a time- your kids can be creative and stimulate their fun and original ideas while on the road. (It wont’ kill them to unplug once in a while, we promise!)
The Scribble and Doodle On the Go is perfect for car or plane rides- even for keeping kids busy in restaurants while they wait for their food. The hard cover book has 50 activity pages to color and play on and 2 pages of stickers (every kid’s delight). The “On the Go” book pertains to travel and travel activities, but you can also get “Girly Swirly”, “My First Scribble” and other options. They don’t come with crayons, so bring some with you. All are available for $11 each on http://www.alextoys.com/
Color a Cutie backpack is perfect for travel- you can not only store your kid’s toys and games in it (and it’s small enough that they can carry it about themselves) but also it will give them something to do while you get from here to there. A fun project AND a useful travel pack- what’s not to love. It comes with 5 permanent markers so kids can design their pack any way they like, and it stays that way. Yes, bring a smock so they don’t ruin their clothes. Also available in Color a Backpack- Pirate. $28 at http://www.alextoys.com
