Summer is upon us and that usually means family trips and vacations. Whether it’s a short weekend trip or a long road trip or even an airplane ride, the kids often need to have some entertainment.
They can only nap so much!
While I have lots of ideas for things to do with kids in the car while traveling, I thought it might be handier to share some specific busy bag ideas for toddlers to use on road trips.
Maybe Mom (and Dad) will get some reading time or shut-eye before reaching their destination!
Hey, we can dream, right?
27 Road Trip Busy Bag Ideas
First of all, what do I consider a “busy bag?”
A busy bag to me is something that can be contained and stored away but brought out to play with and put back (reusable). It doesn’t necessarily have to be a “bag.”
Secondly, what makes these best for road trips?
These busy bag ideas for toddlers are great for road trips because they don’t have a million little pieces that the kids are going to constantly be dropping and not being able to continue on with their play until you have a chance to find the lost piece.
