This is the BEST road-trip video! I LOVE the magnetic food tray idea. Literally a game changer. Your video definitely stands out - not the typical ipad, snacks, mess free colors road trip. ❤

I have a two year old. I love the idea of playing with cars and magnets on a metal baking sheet. Can’t wait to try on our next road trip.

Wow, thank you so much for sharing all these amazing road trip activities for young kids!

This is the best put together video I’ve seen so far. I’ve watched too many and this was a relief ❤

[Ashii_the_fluffy_cat]

I am a kid myself but I need this video for my younger sister and my you're right brother and for me to get ideas of what to do and this video was very useful. I like the beading one the most because I am crafty

[rosemoody]

OMGoodness you shared some amazing awesome car ride keep busy things to

[nicholedever]

Yes! Finally, I solution to organizing between two bucket seats. And an alternative to those lap trays that didn’t work for our car seats either! ❤️ Thank you so much for the tips! So helpful!

[anumehasathe]

This is the most helpful video i have seen for the travel ideas❤❤ i am really grateful! You suggested things which i already have at home and no not adding on to the expenses.

You are so thorough! I am excited for my travels with my little one, trying all these things🎉

[mdss]

So many great ideas. Thank you for the thorough video and links!

[juliekeller]

This is an amazing video full of advice! I've been wracking my brain for a lapdesk type surface that will actually work with a carseat - and you just answered my prayers 🤣 Plus - now I've got so many more ideas! Thanks for this!

[hilarymeng]

Thank you so much! This is such a great idea!

[katez]

Love these ideas!!! Running to the dollar tree to get sheets for our kids and making cute things personalized to them for our cross country trip!! What great ideas!! 💞

[CynsCraftingWorld]

I used to do that with Nathan. Great ideas.

[marrizdancel]

thank you for sharing these activities. I've been always worried about our travel time hehe. --from Philippines :)

[gitakiss]

I love these ideas. I am a big fan of my travel binder. This just inspired me to get a magnetic sheet that has those adhesive backings. Stick it to the inside of the binder and add your ideas to it :D

[vlogwithlady]

This is awesome! We are leaving soon and everything else I found was terribly done or not helpful. Thank you!

[benjamincruz]

Used cookie sheets for every road trip. We also used the magnets for bingo and tic tac toe.
My kids are 13 and 16 and the alphabet game is still one of our favorites.
