Traveling Tip: Road Trip Binders for the Kids

State license tags in road-trip binder

See how many state license tags you can find as you travel.

I came across a “must share” idea for families on road-trip vacations. Brandy Nelson shares how she made special road-trip binders, one for each of her two sons, that are packed full of activities and games her boys can play while riding in the car.

Inserted into the front cover of the binder is a map with the planned route highlighted.

Her collection of activities are available as downloads on her blog post, Gluesticks: The Cutest Blog on the Block, to make it super-easy to recreate her binders for your own children. She places the activity sheets in vinyl page protectors so they can be used over and over. Use wipe-off markers, sticky-note markers, and/or adhesive dots as game pieces, then remove them and start a new game.

Be sure to go to Karen’s Gluesticks blog and get the whole story if you are planning a road trip. I wish I had found this a week or two earlier as I know many are already traveling by now.
