Keeping Kids Busy on Long Drives
Long hours in the car can make kids restless, but having a clipboard with fresh activities helps pass the time. Our travel games and scavenger hunts give children specific things to look for out the window, like a passing motorhome or a specific road sign. You can print multiple copies of the scavenger hunt grid so siblings can race to find all the items first.
Consider packing a dedicated travel art kit to make coloring in the vehicle easier. Good items to include are:
- A sturdy clipboard or lap desk to provide a flat drawing surface.
- Twistable crayons or colored pencils, which will not melt in a hot car like traditional wax crayons.
- A zippered pouch to keep all the coloring supplies contained when going over bumps.
Coloring the Changing Scenery
As you drive across the country, the landscape outside changes dramatically. The scenic highway pages let kids color the environments they might be passing through, from a dense redwood forest to a flat desert mesa. Talk with your children about the different geographical features they see in the drawings and compare them to the real views outside the window. This makes the coloring activity part of the actual travel experience.
The Classic Family Road Trip
Many of these illustrations capture the nostalgic feel of packing up the car for a summer vacation. You will find pages showing a station wagon loaded with roof luggage and families consulting a paper road map. If your family travels in a larger vehicle, the camper van and RV pages show scenes of setting up camp, cooking on a tailgate, and sleeping under the stars. These sheets are a quiet way to wind down at the campsite after a long day of driving.
