Nemerovski and Malizia both have stocked their cars and offices with kid-friendly items. Malizia packs cold packs filled with juice and healthy snacks for car rides. She also has several travel games she keeps in the back seat. In her office, Malizia keeps puzzles and games. Nemerovski says she keeps crayons, playing cards and little computerized games under her desk.
Some kids like books and magic markers, others like to work puzzles.
I try to have a variety of small items in the office. But if we've been out touring houses, I have a reward system. If the kids have been patient, I give them a little treat, like candy. Just something little, but their faces really light up. But I soon realized that when a child comes back two or three times, they don't want to be coloring the same coloring book.
