We Are planning a very long drive this week. We are hitting the road before sunup and driving until way past bedtime. As a survival strategy I have ready a giant collection of road trip activities for children. In Only a brief while our family is going to be taking a road trip. A Road that is quite loooong trip. As In, start driving at 3 AM and reach our destination after 10 PM. With five kids ages 7 and under. And We don't have a DVD player in our van. This May seem a little mad, but seriously? Placing all seven people at a hotel room having a baby still waking every 2 hours seems a great deal crazier. So I've been operating at a creating and collecting an assortment of actions to maintain my team busy for our big adventure.
Starting Seems Coloring Pages
Do not do a great deal of worksheets with my grandparents, but a car trip is the best time to pull some out. I created this set of 26 coloring pages. They just need to color the pictures on each and every letter that start with that letter. You can get the free printable in this informative article.
Magnetic Pattern Block Activities
We Already have routine blocks, but for this trip I purchased a magnetic set of blocks so the children can use them in their baking sheets. I found the large pattern block activities at PreKinders. I printed a transport, snowflake, and animals set. The children can each set a paper in their board and pay it using the magnetic cubes. I also published the small set of layouts from Kelly's Kindergarten and bound them with a ring. (You will need to shrink her layouts prior to printing them if you want them small.) My older kids can recreate these pictures onto their own boards.
Color by Number Addition Pages
My Seven requested for color by number pages. I wanted to make something which would challenge her as well as give something she enjoys, so I put addition facts on those fairy tale characters. You can find the listing of ten free webpages by visiting this particular post.
Snacks, Snacks... and More Snacks
And What would a long car ride be without snacks? We do not usually have prepackaged snacks in our home, but I'm making this trip an exclusion. I'm packaging miniature chocolate chip cookies, honey graham sticks, crispy cheddar crackers, granola bars, and bunny snacks. I'm also packing a few dry cereal (a rare treat -- that our kids have plain yogurt with only a sprinkle of cereal for breakfast), string cheese, snap peas, and baby carrots. Plus a brand-new water jug filled with water.
