That's why we've put together a list of our favorite road trip activities for kids that will help make the journey more enjoyable for everyone involved.
- Print out coloring pages from the Anna und Elsa ausmalbilder ahead of time and pack them in a backpack or bag for your child to access easily during the drive. We recommend Frozen-themed coloring pages because what kid doesn't love Anna and Elsa? You can find some great ones here.
- Bring along a few small toys or trinkets that your child can play with in the car. Something like a fidget spinner or a set of Lego bricks can keep little hands busy and help prevent them from getting too fidgety during the ride.
- If you have an iPad or other tablet, download some age-appropriate apps or movies that your child can watch during the trip. Just be sure to bring along headphones so other passengers aren't bothered by the sound.
- Put together a scavenger hunt list tailored specifically to things your child is likely to see on the road trip. This is a great way to help them stay engaged and excited about the journey instead of just being bored and restless. For example, you could include items such as "a truck with more than two axle", "a rest stop sign", "a license plate from another state", etc.
- Lastly, don't forget the snacks! Packing some of your child's favorite snacks and drinks will help keep their energy up and hopefully prevent any meltdowns due to hunger or thirst. Plus, it's always nice to have something to munch on when you're feeling road weary yourself.
We hope these tips are helpful and that you and your family have a wonderful time on your next road trip! Safe travels!
