Making an art box for each child – scissors, glue sticks, journal, stickers and markers – is a good option for older kids.

 The Travel & Play portable table is a must for things like this. It opens up in to a sturdy table with sides and is held in place by Velcro around the child’s waist. Perfect for games. You can find them at www.travelplayco.com.

Take a deck of cards and magnetic game boards.

Individual CD players with head phones prevents arguments over whose turn it is to pick the music.

Plan on traveling road games that you can play along as you go.
