As a mother of young children I find it very hard to travel my in laws live an 8 hour drive from me and we like to go as often as we can I like traveling by car better than plane because if I go by plane it takes basically the same amount of time and once we’re all packed up in the car it’s easier just to stay in the car…with that said I wanted to know if anyone has ideas of how to entertain my children other than with iPads and technology.

I saw a really cute idea online- take some cereal in a ziplock and bring along a string let your children make their own cereal necklaces in the car it may be a little crumby.(but I find traveling always leaves my car a mess…) when they are finished making the necklaces they can munch on the cereal hall trip long 🙂

I am traveling 8+ hours to my in laws as well. I decide to start our travels abt 2/3 am so my husband and I ( we split the drive) can get some sleep before we leave. Also the kids can sleep some of the ride. I found magna doodle boards worked great for the long ride, u can find them cheap in the dollar store. Another idea I put some paint in a big Ziploc bag and tape it well to the window, it basically becomes a finger painting activity but sans mess! If ur up to it u can initiate a I spy game , either a color car passing, or count an object that is frequent thru the drive. Good luck, have a safe trip and a kosher and happy pesach! 🙂
