How to keep your kids happy while traveling:
More tips from the Duggars ;).
Reading:
"One of our favorite travel activities is reading. We always have our
reading book bag with all of our favorites in it. The kids usually team
up as reading buddies. My readers that are still learning team up with
an older child to practice."
Coloring:
"In addition to the buddy reading, the younger ones get coloring books with crayons and blank paper so that they can make
pictures, cards, notes, and things like that. They have their backpacks
packed with those kinds of activities to keep their little hands and
heads busy."
Card games:
"The older ones also have card games in their packs. We don’t really
give those to the younger ones because they might scatter the cards
around the plane and lose them. They can't play those games quite yet,
but the older ones enjoy them!"
Travel snacks:
"We
usually take turkey or beef jerky, but we have other snacks like raw almonds, peanut butter crackers
and dried fruit. We also like dried fruit and nut mixes -- trail mix and
stuff like that. We try to avoid the sugary sweet stuff. When we travel, we pack single-serving prepackaged portions for each
of the kids. We don't typically buy them in single-serving packages
because they're more expensive, but when we travel it’s more practical
for each of us to have snacks handy in our own backpacks."
"It helps
everyone to have their own little supply kit with some snacks and
activities to keep busy with."
