Long car trips with small children can be torturous, especially when they start getting into each other’s space. These parents decided to divide and conquer by creating kid compartments in the back seat.
The kids won’t be able to bother each other and hopefully will fall asleep as soon as you hit the road.
Teether On the Go
Parents of teething babies know how hard it is to give them some relief. There is very little you can do, and their pain is extremely hard to bear. One father from Queens, New York, came up with this helpful hack. Whenever he was taking his teething baby out for the day, he would keep the baby’s teether in a Klean Kanteen full of ice water.
This kept the teether cool all day and ready to offer relief when needed.
Building Words
Teaching your kids new things in a fun way is an amazing experience for you and them. If they have outgrown their basic blocks, repurpose them into spelling blocks.
Simply write words on the bigger pieces and letters on the smaller pieces. Kids will enjoy putting them together and learn how to read and spell new words in an enjoyable way.
Shower Caddy to the Rescue
A shower caddy is not just convenient for your shower stuff but can also be used to hold meals on the road.
Pack one along on your next long trip and it will help your toddler eat in a more organized way and keep your car much cleaner.
Magnetic Wall
Another way to make learning fun is to place a magnetic board on one of your child’s bedroom walls. They can play with numbers and letters and try to do math or spell.
This will give them the confidence to experiment and learn, but also the joy of playtime.
