Dina Anderson yeah yeah yeah expert and
you have some great tips for traveling
with the little ones well you know I
just did a 10 state and 10 day trip and
even if their kids know you you know cuz
I was the passenger and I'm like man I'm
bored I need something to do and so it
got me thinking about some different
things and I bet kids get I used to
travel with my son all the time and I
always had a lot for him to do and this
is one thing I as an adult realized I
was missing a lot of things like
sunscreen you know so I just did this
care package here it's got snacks in
here it's got a little first-aid kit
some oatmeal in case you have to stay
the night someone you have breakfast the
next morning a great idea always curious
sponge and I know you guys were asking
me why a sponge you know guys keep the
little handy wipes and all there's
always I'm gonna say this for Mike
there's always a pop that spills
[Music]
something that spills in the car handy
wipes are great to clean up yourself but
to clean up the car you you know and I
also travel behind puppies a lot okay
and then a really good tip is contact
the CVB of wherever you're going
you mentioned envision Convention and
Visitors Bureau and they will send you
maps they'll send you booklets so then
that way the kids can kind of research a
little bit before they head out like I
went to white stone estate at a Hampton
Inn and they had these cute little
things when we got there so it was a
little drink it was something fun I
loved the hilton brand because they
always have something for you when you
get there and buy things that free
everything the kids can kind of pick up
what about this place or maybe see and
so they can look forward and you can
plan out okay on this day we're gonna do
this and then you get your turn exactly
you always want to give them something
for me they got their iPads we were
talking about that plane and stuff but
you really want to give them something
that's gonna you know kind of interact
with the trip that you're taking so they
can get excited about and also to get
the eyes out the windows instead of in
which is where this so this is a really
fun little thing member as kids we would
make these change that they open and
Mike's gonna create this but it gives
them something fun look play tic-tac-toe
go with one of the things we're gonna
make in a sec is something fun that they
can do so he's gonna create one of these
over there well Jenna
and so this is a fun this craft you can
do this under like 2 or 3 dollars it's
just few bells from the craft store and
this is twine everybody has string or
yarn or something around their home and
these are just I will say Michaels has
all these 50 off right now but a lot of
the stores have coupons and things like
that
and I just took this belt put little
holes to tie this in there and then I
just cut and you're gonna do this I have
some scissors here and you just need a
box of crayons the kids you know they're
out of school they got crayons left over
so you're gonna fold this in half and
you could do it however big you want and
then you're gonna cut the little slits
so that you can fit the crayons in there
and it will hold them you don't need to
put glue or anything like that and then
after you put all your twine you could
cover it with some hot glue and just add
like a nice little cover to the table
got to make it pretty or you don't have
to but this way it kind of holds it in
and makes it how do you get through a
slit so the easiest way is I just bend
it like this and then I'm not a
measuring girl guys so so you just know
like that and then you just put your
crayon in that roll okay you do however
many colors you want yeah so it's really
really easy and then the little booklet
over here by where Mike's working is
there's zipper pockets that you can buy
at any of the office supply stores and
they can fill it with a notebook maybe
make a journal and then you had
mentioned something earlier about you
they could put their iPad in there yeah
these things are fantastic
snacks handy wipes in this one this one
you can kind of see through and write
fun and easy for the kids and let them
help you create because that will get
them excited about it and then on some
of these I think one of them it says
count the license plate or add up the
license plates so I just printed up a
little thing that you can put in there
for each state they write down a license
plate number well and the nice thing
about this too is that you know not only
will it fit all the Chargers electronics
but all the batteries then this can go
into the hotel if you're staying even
hot glue a piece of ribbon to keep it
tied together if you want as well yes
this is a fantastic
you know at the dollar store the craft
store there a book there just like the
little pencil holders and I just took
the chalkboard paint painted it on there
so they can play tic-tac-toe they could
play dots those are the what do you call
it the erase marker so they can draw on
the plastic and then erase it when
they're done and so it it makes it nice
and fun they can play could write little
things that they see it's just let them
put other goodies in there and they
close it up they take it whether you
don't make a mess all these fantastic
ideas okay you wanna see what we're
doing first okay fantastic
ideas for the road trips and to make it
so it's not just you know really maybe
not the license plate right more
