Travelling with Kids By Linda Whittaker
So, it’s holiday time again and you are thinking of going away to spend time with your family and friends. I have travelled across the globe with two young children, so I would like to share a few of my tips with you. Whether you are flying or driving to your next destination, you may like to use a few of these tips to make your journey a fun, relaxed and enjoyable journey. Have a safe trip and most importantly... Take time to laugh and have fun with your wonderful children!
1. The Road Trip:
- Have healthy snacks ready at hand, to pass over to the back seat. If you have several children, distribute a variety of healthy snack foods into zip lock bags, so each child has their own snack bag of goodies.
- Mini bags of Carrots or Apples are always great for trips, as they are already prepared, ready to go. You can pop those into a small cooler bag, with frozen bottles of water. Try and pick healthy snacks that are low in sugar, so your kids will be calmer on the road trip.
- Pack Water Bottles, with a non spill lid, to avoid the dreaded spillage in your car.
Games to play
> "Spot the black car, Nissan, Stop Sign etc"
> "I spy with my little eye, something beginning with..."
> Have a music CD in the car that you can all sing along to. The library is a good source.
> Pack a Frisbee in the trunk so you can have a quick run around with the kids at your next stop.
> Before you get back into the car, play musical chairs so that each person moves to a new seat.
