I have this thing that I can attach to the carseat mirror - </p> <p><a href="https://www.zulily.com/brand/car-seat-cinema.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.zulily.com/brand/car-seat-cinema.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-car-ride-activities-to-do-with-a-1-year-old#post-2493635 Sun, 13 Mar 2016 20:08:33 +0000 LovelyPlum 2493635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sensory toys, too! Could you fill a small clear bottle with water and glitter? She loved that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-car-ride-activities-to-do-with-a-1-year-old#post-2493634 Sun, 13 Mar 2016 20:07:27 +0000 LovelyPlum 2493634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Magna doodle for sure! We did a few long trips when she wS one, and she loved Water Wow and MagiClips princesses. We also got her a few new toys-plastic dinosaurs, princesses, stickers, a ball. I was nervous, but she ended up doing really well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-car-ride-activities-to-do-with-a-1-year-old#post-2493610 Sun, 13 Mar 2016 19:43:17 +0000 jhd 2493610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: I don't think we would have made it through the trip without it! ;) that drawing board is super cute. I love B.

She played with it non-stop on a recent flight. </p> <p>In the car she plays with her B Toys Magnetic drawing board. It is big and is a good surface for doing other colouring as well.</p> <p>[attach=3209/16/o4077b.600x600.image.jpeg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-car-ride-activities-to-do-with-a-1-year-old#post-2493522 Sun, 13 Mar 2016 17:24:45 +0000 jhd 2493522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just did a long plane ride with our almost two year old. He really enjoyed the Melissa and Doug Water Wow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-car-ride-activities-to-do-with-a-1-year-old#post-2493510 Sun, 13 Mar 2016 16:54:39 +0000 KT326 2493510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At that age we would just sing in the car or I had a bag of toys and he would just play with one until he was tired of it. Between that and stopping to stretch, change diapers and eat it was all we needed. I also gave board books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-car-ride-activities-to-do-with-a-1-year-old#post-2493424 Sun, 13 Mar 2016 13:50:52 +0000 Golden 2493424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha IPAD :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-car-ride-activities-to-do-with-a-1-year-old#post-2493386 Sun, 13 Mar 2016 12:01:08 +0000 brownepiano 2493386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is obsessed with buttons/electronics so I collected and borrowed as many things with buttons as possible. I'd hand him one at a time and wait till he got bored before the next. </p> <p>Books for him to look through, snacks, and stopping every few hours is how we got through similar car rides. We've made it through a few without having to resort to screens! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-car-ride-activities-to-do-with-a-1-year-old#post-2493384 Sun, 13 Mar 2016 12:00:30 +0000 Applesandbananas 2493384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got him color wonder mess free markers, stickers, and a seek and find kind of book when he was that age for a road trip. The seek and find book was good because it was just "find the bird" and stuff like that vs actually reading a whole story.</p> <p>And he got videos and games on the iPad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-car-ride-activities-to-do-with-a-1-year-old#post-2493375 Sun, 13 Mar 2016 11:39:10 +0000 Astro Bee 2493375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: Ooh!

Travel each way will be 7-8 hours, and we will be driving on Friday and the following Monday. LO is a really good traveller and spends the majority of time in the car sleeping. But we normally only drive for 2-3 hours at a time. </p> <p>Does anyone have any advice for games/activities to play with him for when he's not sleeping? I get motion sickness on occasion, so I don't know if it's feasible to read him stories. </p>
