We were on the road for a total of nine days for a recent road trip. In order to make it through all of the driving with two little kids, we needed a plan. I made a trip to the dollar store and stocked up on car activities. We wrapped up things like stickers, bouncy balls and crayons in brown paper and each day the girls got to open one of the packages. They unwrapped right before the longest part of the drive for each day, and each girl had her own backpack to keep activities organized. The packages got us through some long stretches on the road, and let me get on with my knitting and Instagraming in the front seat.
