Prior to your trip, print coloring pages off the Internet. There are several sites with great printable activities and color pages. Sometimes even the longest car rides can't be solved with an on-board VCR, but a visit to your local video rental store might help. Select tapes that are seasonal and not viewed often by your child. Old home movies work well too.
Children love to watch themselves.
Record yourself reading your child's favorite books. You can pop a cassette into the car's tape player and your child will enhance their imagination by having to visualize the pictures as they hear the story. Pack snacks your child would normally not enjoy at home. All rights reserved.
