She liked the water wow books, I got her a wipe clean work book, and scratch art book.

I threw a whiteboard/markers in and the Melissa &amp; Doug reusable sticker pad--those keep her fairly busy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-amazon-items-for-roadtrip#post-2845677 Sun, 16 Sep 2018 11:40:57 +0000 SweetCaroline 2845677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnleaves: Oh! You've inspired me...we have a similar toy that is not magnetic, but felt shapes for a camping themed scene. I'll bring that!

I have the Kindle Fire original--doesn't look like this functionality is available there. I did figure out how to set parental controls on it though, so that's helpful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-amazon-items-for-roadtrip#post-2845675 Sun, 16 Sep 2018 11:38:36 +0000 SweetCaroline 2845675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilyofthewest: Ha!

She is more interested in taking the pen apart.</p> <p>I think I'm going to order the Aquadoodle though...maybe the more free rein to draw rather that simply make the color turn to life will appeal to her... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-amazon-items-for-roadtrip#post-2845662 Sun, 16 Sep 2018 09:40:49 +0000 macintosh 2845662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely Water Wow books. My kid just loves to watch the cars and trucks go by so that conversation plus music kept him happy for short periods, then I’d hand over the tablet. Also car snacks in little bags that you can hand back on demand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-amazon-items-for-roadtrip#post-2845658 Sun, 16 Sep 2018 08:02:24 +0000 brownepiano 2845658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These are some things that I looked at for a road trip, but never actually got. We rely VERY heavily on books from the library, stickers, and water wow. But DS will read books for a very long time (even though he can't read). Think about what will keep your child occupied the longer at home and do stuff similar to that.<br /> Stringing Beads:<br /> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00004WKPV/?coliid=I2016OOXPYGVWU&#038;colid=1JIRVSWCL4WBW&#038;psc=0&#038;ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00004WKPV/?coliid=I2016OOXPYGVWU&#038;colid=1JIRVSWCL4WBW&#038;psc=0&#038;ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it</a></p> <p>Movable letter shapes:<br /> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DQMZ9HQ/?coliid=IYNFVLZ77Q6ZG&#038;colid=1JIRVSWCL4WBW&#038;psc=0&#038;ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DQMZ9HQ/?coliid=IYNFVLZ77Q6ZG&#038;colid=1JIRVSWCL4WBW&#038;psc=0&#038;ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it</a></p> <p>Melissa and Doug Tape Book:<br /> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EX5JAAO/?coliid=I1TKXPOU4KMIAO&#038;colid=1JIRVSWCL4WBW&#038;psc=0&#038;ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EX5JAAO/?coliid=I1TKXPOU4KMIAO&#038;colid=1JIRVSWCL4WBW&#038;psc=0&#038;ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it</a> </p> <p>(We ultimately didn't get these because DS#2 is too little for them but old enough to be jealous the whole trip). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-amazon-items-for-roadtrip#post-2845652 Sun, 16 Sep 2018 06:14:18 +0000 autumnleaves 2845652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilyofthewest: I love these ideas - I saw they have make your own dinosaur stickers too and will try those out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-amazon-items-for-roadtrip#post-2845651 Sun, 16 Sep 2018 06:13:30 +0000 autumnleaves 2845651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I let my kids unwrap "presents" every hour or so on a long trip - some of the items were toys they play with at home and I also bought them some new books to unwrap. I also took the old High 5 magazines for my 3 year old to look at again on the car ride.<br /> I bought this magnetic easel for my 3 year old from Amazon but he has never been into it.

You can also download some kids apps. Unless there are apps she already enjoys on someone's phone, you might want to experiment a little bit in advance -- I can't even vaguely comprehend what is appealing about some of the apps that best engage my kid on long car trips. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-amazon-items-for-roadtrip#post-2845634 Sun, 16 Sep 2018 03:17:30 +0000 lilyofthewest 2845634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DWCQTHX" rel="nofollow">https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DWCQTHX</a><br /> A bunch of these, some paper, some crayons</p> <p><a href="https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07C132VHB" rel="nofollow">https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07C132VHB</a><br /> One of these packed with minifigs</p> <p>And my kid has never cared for the semi-educational themes of the on-brand Melissa and Doug water books...but he does like this junk food series. :grin: <a href="https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B076X5F67V" rel="nofollow">https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B076X5F67V</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-amazon-items-for-roadtrip#post-2845624 Sat, 15 Sep 2018 21:16:52 +0000 crazydoglady 2845624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Melissa and Doug Waterbooks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-amazon-items-for-roadtrip#post-2845619 Sat, 15 Sep 2018 19:56:29 +0000 SweetCaroline 2845619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What are your favorite things for a roadtrip with a 3.5 year old that I can Amazon Prime?</p> <p>I was really hoping on a Leappad, but they're reviews on Amazon are lukewarm. I have my own Kindle Fire that I never use...how can I adapt that for DD?</p> <p>I'm mostly looking for small items I can give her along the way. I was thinking magna doodle, but looks like boogie board may be a contender? </p>
