Packaging For A Excursion Together with Pre-Schoolers

Anybody that has kids knows that travelling with preschoolers can get a little rowdy. Sometimes you don't get very far down the road at all before you have the almost irresistible urge to turn back and forget about the trip all together. Fear not weary traveling parents. There exists wish. A little bit of planning is all it takes to make your next road trip a more enjoyable one. When children get bored they get cranky and hard to deal with. The night before the trip ask each child to choose three to five of their favorite toys to take in the car with them. If you make the children a part of the planning process then they are more likely to choose something that they will enjoy. Don't just let the kids choose everything, pack in a few surprises that you know the kids will love to mix things up a bit. Unexpected toys will help break the monotony of road travel. Coloring books and crayons, books, pocket games, window markers and play clay will help keep your child occupied. When the toys and games from home lose their ability to entertain, turn to fun and interesting road games. Road games such as counting the number of blue cars or finding out of state travelers by their license plates. If your kids are older they may enjoy a competition to see who can spot a specific letter or number the most number of times. I remember my brother and I use to have fun trying to make sentences with words starting from each letter in the license plates. For something the whole family can get in on try the round robin style of story telling. Even the driver will be able to have fun with this. One person starts the story with a sentence and passes it on. The next person continues the story, and then passes to the next. It's inevitable, one hundred miles from nowhere your child will pipe out with, "Mommy, I'm hungry." And, we all know, a hungry preschooler is a whiny, unhappy preschooler. Always be prepared with a cooler full of fun easy to eat snacks. Keep it healthy with fruit, peanut butter, sticks of vegetables such as carrots and celery. Cut some sandwiches into fun shapes. Avoid soft drinks and other sugary drinks as this will make your kids hyper and restless from an overload of sugar and no way to burn it off. Pouches and juice boxes are likewise a poor choice. Children can't help themselves with these things and will always experiment with a good squeeze just to see what happens. If everyone is covered in sticky juice the trip can become a sour journey indeed. Road trips with your preschooler can be a fun chance to learn about and with each other. Planning ahead with healthy snacks and educational, fun acitvities and you will make the trip a more enjoyable.
