If you are good with improv, you can sing ‘Hey Lolly Lolly’ alternating who gives you an object to make up a verse about. Kids CDs from the library. But maybe you’ve said before music in the car was a disaster? I’ve forgotten. You can also plan snack time to be in the car, Rebecca has a foam tray for her carseat, so setting out her snack on it occupies her for 20 minutes.

You can probably get them from the library, and can get multiple books so each kid can hold their own! I also give them pipe cleaners to play with sometimes.
Happy Anniversary! We celebrated our ninth this June as well. :)

How about a car game, like finding a signs that have the a, b, c’s on them. First find an a, then b, etc. I don’t know how many signs you pass but it might work for at least one drive =) We also like story telling CD’s. My girls are used to being in the car for long periods of time so for us they hang in there pretty well without entertainment or toys that can fall and become more of a problem. I have a no toys in the car policy and I think they enjoy rides better because nobody is screaming because their toy fell!

We go to it 2x a week. It’s a necessity for me. Tell the kids it’s an adventure instead of a chore and it turns into a really wonderful experience for the kids. There are always samples and some interesting things to try. Kiddo loves getting a treat like Mint Iced Tea or a scone. I hope you go and post about it!

My kids have been doing car rides like that regularly since they were infants – they get used to it quick. I’ve found that magnetic drawing boards (the ones that wipe clear) and stories on cd are good for car rides.
