I had:</p> <p>A Melissa and Doug activity book for my older LO.<br /> A ziplock full of small markers.<br /> Sheets torn out from a coloring book and blank sheets of paper (this was the most successful).<br /> Sticker books for each kid.<br /> Water Wow, but I think we lost the brush along the way, so I'll have to get a new one.<br /> iPad videos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-put-in-your-activity-bags#post-2567567 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 08:58:55 +0000 tinyperson 2567567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: my 3.5 yo DD loves those same three things! In fact I just found some paw patrol magic color books and some new water wow books at the dollar store. We have a trip down to my parents at the end of the month so I'm stocking up. We also do audio books, but we now have a 3 week old who screams in the car so not sure how those will work 😋 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-put-in-your-activity-bags#post-2567544 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 08:48:34 +0000 matador84 2567544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Crayons/coloring books (I hate markers because of the caps)<br /> Cookie sheet/magnetic letters<br /> M &amp; d peel and reusable sticker books<br /> Puffy stickers m &amp; d (different than above)<br /> Magna doodle<br /> I pack them each a lunch and snacks in a tackle box type container<br /> I spy books </p> <p>We just went on a 7 hour road trip and this kept them amused the whole time there and back.

I found a couple things that kept her entertained for hours. </p> <p>1. Melissa &amp; Doug Water Wows (letters and princess one)<br /> 2. Melissa &amp; Doug Magic Color book (markers only mark on book)<br /> 3. Face stickers - my mom found this, it's a bunch of blank faces and than you choose the eyes, lips, jewelry, ect. SHE LOVES it. </p> <p>I also bought Zootopia and we played that for her on our car entertainment center. But we didn't want her just watching movie after movie, so other activities were necessary! </p>
