Road Tripping with a Toddler

Traveling with a toddler can be an adventure for sure! Being prepared and having lots to do is key if you want to actually make it to your destination. We are headed out of town for the 4th of July weekend and I've been on the hunt to find the best activities to keep the kids busy. If you know my husband, he does NOT like stopping so I knew I would have to get creative in finding things to do to make the four hour trip go by fast. Here is a roundup of all my favorite apps & games for the car.

Find fun friendly farm animals inside the barn, perfect for toddlers and easy to use. 

This is great for younger toddlers 1-2 years old. FaceTime with elmo in all sorts of locations. 

The PBS Kids app is so easy my 2 year old can turn it on and navigate to the show he wants to watch! So many options and great for car rides. 

Lots and lots of stickers! My son just got this dinosaur sticker book that has stickers in the front and blank pages in the back to decorate dinosaurs. This is sure to keep him busy for awhile! 

The straw game! Some of the most simple things are the most fun. Grab a pack of straws and a canister or colander and go to it!

Most importantly, do not forget SNACKS! I don't know what it is about kids but they can literally eat all day long. My favorite on the go snacks are fig bars, fruit pouches, raisins, goldfish, pretzels, animal crackers & dum dum lollipops as a treat. Don't get too fancy with refrigerated items. Keep it simple!

Whether you're staying here or going out of town for the 4th, I hope this post makes your car ride a bit more fun. Happy 4th of July and have a fabulous weekend! xoxo, Rachel
