This is the most helpful video i have seen for the travel ideas❤❤ i am really grateful! You suggested things which i already have at home and no not adding on to the expenses. You are so thorough! I am excited for my travels with my little one, trying all these things🎉

I have a two year old. I love the idea of playing with cars and magnets on a metal baking sheet. Can’t wait to try on our next road trip.

This is the BEST road-trip video! I LOVE the magnetic food tray idea. Literally a game changer. Your video definitely stands out - not the typical ipad, snacks, mess free colors road trip. ❤

This is an amazing video full of advice! I've been wracking my brain for a lapdesk type surface that will actually work with a carseat - and you just answered my prayers 🤣 Plus - now I've got so many more ideas! Thanks for this!

Yes! Finally, I solution to organizing between two bucket seats. And an alternative to those lap trays that didn’t work for our car seats either! ❤️ Thank you so much for the tips! So helpful!

I love these ideas. I am a big fan of my travel binder. This just inspired me to get a magnetic sheet that has those adhesive backings. Stick it to the inside of the binder and add your ideas to it :D

I’m so glad to hear you like the ideas! The cookie sheets are seriously awesome!! Happy road tripping 😁

@amywitt4911 Жыл бұрын

Used cookie sheets for every road trip. We also used the magnets for bingo and tic tac toe. My kids are 13 and 16 and the alphabet game is still one of our favorites.

That is awesome!! That’s great to know cookie sheets have worked well for other people too! And I’m glad to hear the alphabet game lives on 😁

These were great ideas! Question, do the cookie sheets slide off laps?

@AdventuresWithTheHills Жыл бұрын

Thanks! As far as I can remember, the cookie sheets haven’t slid off the kids laps. My son says they’ve wiggled around a bit sometimes, but not fallen off.

I love these ideas! Would love to use them for our road trip this upcomming summer with our 3 kiddos! Do you have any travel snack tips?

@AdventuresWithTheHills Жыл бұрын

Thanks so much for your comment! A few snack thoughts - pick snacks that won’t be messy (dry, not too crumbly), such as dried fruit, granola bars, goldfish, pretzels, cheese strings, etc. We like to have snacks that are a bit on the healthier side, with some sweets mixed in (keep away sugar crashes). Let the kids pick out a treat or two for the trip that they’re excited about. For younger kids, pass them snacks in a smaller container with just the amount they need (don’t pass back a whole bag of something). Make sure the snacks are accessible before you start your trip and that everyone has water nearby! Enjoy your trip!!

My kids typically love fancy mixed nuts, seaweed, fruit leathers, apple sauce pouches, and fresh fruit. 🥰 I have 5 so it is crazy on long road trips. We aim for healthy, not so much sugar that it will make them go crazy, but not too messy either, and they seem to do really great with these items, plus they are shelf stable so don't need heating or cooling.

I had noisy kids with me at a restaurant and had them act out sounds of animals , things got very quiet when I suggested they all make the sound of a bunny makes and they all had grins on their faces, looking at one another to ask what a bunny sounds like! (LOL!) they were so quiet?
