Road tripping can be very
exhausting, especially if you have kids. But there are a few things you can do to
avoid unnecessary stress. Here are some tips of what you can do before hitting
the road:
#1 Backpack of Goodies
Fill up a backpack for each child
with things that they love. Coloring books and crayons for the littles ones,
comics and Rubik’s cube for the older ones are great options. Blankets and
other comforting items are also nice things to include.
#2 Lots of Snacks
Pack a cooler full of delicious
snacks. Include healthy options, such as baby carrots, raisins, granola bars,
fruits, as well as treats, like cookies and pretzels. This will save you money
at the gas station and will keep your kids happy! Don’t forget water bottles and juice boxes.
#3 Gather the Gadgets
Technology is a wonderful thing if
used smartly! Tablets, smartphones, and iPods are a great distraction, but make
sure this is not the only thing they’re doing. Road trips are a great way to
bond more with your kids. Play games, such as I Spy and the License Plate game,
your kids will love it!
