Summer is here and road trip season is in full swing! From experiencing a 9 hour flight with a nearly 3 year old I thought I’d share this awesome word building travel kit! Engaging travel activities create a context for laughter and learning to share with your child. What a joy it is to watch your child explore an activity specific to their interests and development!

Supplies: metal pencil box (or lunch box), jumbo craft sticks, permanent markers, lowercase magnetic letters, magnetic tape and hot glue gun. It’s tempting to offer hand-held electronics and the children may even thank you. Resist! Plane and train travel in particular offer an opportunity for intimacy and family relationship-building all too rare in our busy lives. Why throw it away? For full directions, head to the link below.
