Car Edition PART II

 I admit... I'm kinda a nerd...
But here's a packing list for the car.... first go to the dollar store because it's amazing.... I got these 6 mini m&m packs for a dollar... good for treats and small enough to throw across the car ....

 With the M&M's I will start with m and m graphing... it's good for all of them to learn a little something... we got comparing, adding, fractions, graphing, tasty m's and coloring all at once... even add a little tally, number learning etc... gotta take up 15 minutes right?

 I'm trying to be age appropriate... so I have dry erase boards, but nyla can't do markers if you know what I mean so I found these markers... little more expensive, but worth saving shirts and car and whatever else... the board is dollar store and they can always write on the windows too... that's gotta be 30 minutes.

 The dollar store has these crafts... seems lik boys wouldn't like them, but I 'm not convinced... the one on the left has sea creatures... it's not girly... but the "jewels" are self sticking . the board on the right is the sticky and you stick sequins... coloring board in the middle... have a contest who can make the best, but pass out awards to all of them which you can also find at the dollar store.... depending on the craftiness of your kid, this could be forever.

Fazoodles abound!!!! I found these giant fuzzy pipe cleaners at the dollar store... and they came with stickers for eyeballs... or get regular pipe cleaners and create animals... who can make a giraffe, who can rock it poppet!!!!

 These were bonuses... a box full of animals and tin foil... make foil animals, have them make oragami or something.... the creatures were on clearance at walmart.. totally worth it.

 My favorite.. magnet fun... get a pan from the dollar store and then I did splurge at Barnes and Noble... i found in the travel game section (they have one of those!!!!) magnetic puzzles... this way, they can do puzzles and they stay in the pan... for nyla there's animals... and for a treat challenge they have to do a tanagram... magnetic from B&N for 2$

So here's a backpack... a notebook of paper, crafts, fuzzy noodles, dice game, a box of crayons... and we're set!!!! Head out on the road!
