How many times have you heard while in the car, “I’m bored” from the kiddos? Our kids have been out of school a whopping 5 days and I have heard that at least 5 times! So last night I started making a list of things they can do in the car or to keep busy while we are our running errands, at the grocery, at the zoo, trips to grandma’s house or on our way to the amusement park (Santa bought our girls passes)!
I have several things in mind and that I have already created, but this is the first I will share. In The Car Scavenger Hunt is for things your kiddos can try to find while driving around town. There is a box for them to check as they find things on the list. Some of these are really easy and some are a little harder to help keep older kiddos entertained as well as maybe getting more than 5 minutes of use out of this list!
I also keep our list in a plastic sleeve sheet protector and let our girls use dry erase markers so that we can re-use this list over and over again! I am working on a binder of activities for the kiddos to do in the car that I will share as well, as soon as I get it all done! You are more than welcome to print your pdf copy here and change the list as you want! I will share more as I get them finished! Enjoy!
