Coloring/stickers/snacks/ect. last about 5 minutes, but she will zone into a movie and eventually fall asleep. Potty training is hard, we did just a 2 1/2 hour stint, and we stopped a lot, we did pull up on the way home saying "naptime" since she still wears them when she sleeps. It helped for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/current-toddler-road-trip-faves#post-2071552 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 10:26:47 +0000 Mrs. Twine 2071552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That all sounds really good. If you have a tray, I might try to take along some smaller items that she can play and pretend with. We have a Polly Pocket tree house that small animal toys and dolls can fit in and around, and that's a favorite in the car because it's small enough to fit on a lap tray but they can still do some pretty good pretending with it. Play-doh or modeling wax? It depends on what sort of mess you anticipate, but those are car favorites and neither of the girls is a road-trip champion, unless they can earn their badge with hysterics and/or tons of complaining, so I would gladly take some mess in exchange for happier travellers. Lorelei really likes stickers, and markers. We have a whole collection of washable markers and paper. We also always have books. Lorelei likes to look at pictures sometimes, and Ellie can read to herself.</p> <p>6 months old is harder. We had a whole collection of "car toys" for Lorelei at that age, but she tended to have a really short tolerance for being in the car. :( Hopefully it will go smoothly and she'll be able to nap or sleep for a decent chunk. That's really my only advice; is to try to take advantage of sleep time for travel. </p> <p>Hope it's a great trip! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/current-toddler-road-trip-faves#post-2071453 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 09:32:02 +0000 regberadaisy 2071453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Will be heading on a 6-7 hr road trip soon. Wondering what's your toddler's favorite road trips activities are right now?</p> <p>I bring a activity tray, paper, crayons, Color Wonder book &amp; markers, lace &amp; trace and tons of snacks. Her teacher said she loves stringing cheerios so I think I'll bring some of that too. And of course the iPad loaded with some shows and movies! My toddler is a road trip champion so I'm not worried about her. Although this is the first since potty training so I might put her in pull ups.</p> <p>I'm most worried about my almost 6m old because this will be her first road trip and I can't sit in the back! </p>
