18 19 20 21 [Next] - Juice boxes, easy-to-eat snacks, wipes, napkins and trash bags are important. Car trips are the perfect opportunity to use those Tupperware containers that are really too small to be useful at home. Be sure to prepackage each snack for each child - that way you're not trying to pass food back and forth. The Caldwell Family Showcase of Adventures The Caldwell Family Showcase of Adventures ID946 - One fun game that I have enjoyed on long car trips is singing a song everyone knows. The catch is, each person sings one word at a time. I played this with a group ranging in age from 16 to 35 and it occupied us for an hour and a half! Megan ID334 - I remember traveling all day to Denver from Wichita with my younger sister, parents, and myself is a carload. We about 9 and 7 years old ... and we would take a break every 3 hours or so - and when you're little, you get cranky and wild. So, we would pull out skip-its and skip in the parking lots! or run around! or even play a little game (4-square or even hopscotch)! Once we played tag, using anything as bases. My mother and father sometimes brought us to an empty lot and let us run for 10 minutes, and then we were out for 5 hours. Angela Regier ID914 - Our children are now grown, but our system of 'taking turns' made our many family vacations so delightful. We soon found out after arriving at Disney or a theme park or vacationing in general, that we all had different ideas of what activities or rides were the most fun for each individual. We devised a system where we all could enjoy what we wanted. We divided the day (or days) into sections, and each person had an assigned time where they could choose the activities they most wanted. There were 4 of us, so for a quarter of the day, each person got to do their favorite things. It saved a lot of arguments, and no one complained when doing something they might not choose for themselves because they knew that they would have their own opportunity to enjoy their favorites eventually. If there was ever a problem on who would go first, we would either draw straws, flip a coin, or think of a number between 1 and 10. The Mockingbird Inn, Tupelo, Mississippi The Mockingbird Inn, Tupelo, Mississippi ID953 - Don't count on your toddler being willing to eat airline meals and snacks! I pack items my 2-year-old will eat in a small insulated bag. Little chewy fruit snacks work great during takeoff and landing for keeping his ears comfortable, and the different shapes keep him interested.
