Are you going on a road trip this summer? Millions of people will hit the road this summer including to America’s 10 Best Summer Road trips for 2015. We are taking a road trip to Colorado in August so I am already thinking about how I am going to keep my kids busy with some road trip activities. We have about 10 hours to plan for and I don’t want it to be a trip based solely on tablets and smartphones. I want my kids to enjoy the great outdoors and have a little fun doing it.
Here are some really fun travel hacks, homemade activities, games, book and printables I found for your road trip.
Conveniences
My trip is going to be so much easier with these hacks. These are genius ideas.
Bring a shower caddy for eating in the car
Use a rubber band to hold up your cell phone
Put snacks in tackle box for a wide variety of treats
Put a bar of soap in nylon stocking and use it at any water outlet. – Genius! This is especially great for camping.
