Car rides can be boring for kids, especially when they are long. However, you can make the ride fun by creating a car seat activity bag. The car seat activity bag can contain your kids’ favorite things, including educational learning games.
Here are some ideas for items to include in the bag:
- Favorite book
- Favorite Toy
- Bingo sheet–try to find items on the bingo sheet to win (you can use pictures or words only, or a combination of both!)
- Travel Games
- You can have a theme car seat activity bag – for example, you could put an alphabet book in the bag along with different objects that begin with each letter. Or have a bingo card where your child can find things that begin with each letter.
- Bonus: Buy a bag and have your child decorate it using markers or fabric paint to make it more personalized!
You can also take the car seat activity bag outside the car to places where you have to wait and need something to keep the kids entertained. I recommend rotating activities every couple of months to keep things interesting so kids don’t get bored with seeing the same thing. If you subscribe to a monthly subscription box for books, toys or gadgets, you can put those items in the bag to make it easy to have something new each month. Whatever you choose, it will help to make car rides more enjoyable for both you and your kids.
