Fun For Kids On Long Moving Trips
A parent's guide on how to entertain kids during long moving trips. This article has tips, games and ways to make the trip more fun for everyone involved.
Make An Activity Book For The Road
The most effective way to keep your kids from becoming bored is to give them something that they enjoy doing. If you don't like the idea of hand-held gaming devices, you could make a personalized activity book for them ahead of time.
With only a few household supplies, you can entertain your child for hours on end. All you need is a three-ring binder, a three-hole punch, and some creativity. Fill the binder with pages of stickers, blank pages, coloring book pictures, puzzles, games--the possibilities are endless! Also throw in a pencil case filled with crayons markers , and colored pencils so they'll never get bored.
Make A Treasure Map
Long car rides with kids can be testing, so build excitement by incorporating stops into the relocation journey. This way, you can break the trip down into smaller chunks that are more manageable and have a fun activity waiting at the end of each one. Create a treasure map leading up to your new house, including landmarks and interesting sites along the route.
Another way to play into this concept is to create a countdown until you reach your new home, with each stop bringing you closer and closer to the finish line. You can include the treasure map in their activity book so they can follow along too.
Stop At Restaurants With Kids’ Amenities
Packing a healthy lunch for the road may not be possible on a stressful day, when all you can think about is getting to your destination. And who can blame you? parent’s have enough to worry about without having to cut crustless sandwiches into cute little shapes. Plus, you’d be missing out on an important part of road food: the play areas.
While the food may not be outstanding, giving your kids 30 minutes to run around and expend some energy at a playpen might make for a smoother car ride. If you don't often let your kids eat at restaurant chains, this will be a fun treat for them that just might make moving easier on everyone involved.
Audio Books And Movies
Boarding a long flight or road trip with young kids in tow can be daunting for any parent. But if you're equipped with a few helpful devices, the journey can be smooth sailing.
For example, tablets loaded with your children's favorite movies are a great way to keep them entertained during the trip. Or, if your kids tend to get motion sickness from watching movies, audiobooks are another great option that the whole family can enjoy together. In-flight entertainment provided by the airline is often not suitable or interesting enough for children, so it's a good idea to bring your own movies for them. This will ( hopefully) give you some time to rest and relax on the plane.
Alphabet Game
The simplest game on this list requires only a paper plate, scissors, and a marker. leisurely travel with small children can be To make the game, write the letters of the alphabet around the paper plate's outer edge then cut slits between each letter. In the center of have your child write their name .folding down letter whenever they see Now that you're all settled in for the trip (in underway), give them The first player to fold all their allottedcar or plane meals , Letters wins a prize! even if it's just bragging rights
