The Best Car Activities for Your Toddler
Have you ever driven longer than ten minutes with a toddler? It can be exhausting. When we go to see grandparents or take a road trip, I make sure to pack things that will entertain our girl. Below are The Best Car Activities for Your Toddler. See something missing from the list that works for you? Be sure to let me know! I love travel tips.

1. Books
Seriously my #1 tip for driving in the car with a toddler is packing lots of books. We have a stack of paper back books that we keep in the car and I can hand my daughter one at a time. I rarely have to use other things to entertain her for a short trip, because she loves to look at her books!
2. Magnet Board
We recently purchased a magnetic letter board from Amazon, and it was quite a hit. This toy will help our daughter learn how to trace, identify letters of the alphabet and strengthen her fine motor skills.
3. LCD Drawing Pad
The best part of packing the LCD drawing pad is that it takes up hardly any room in your bag. That and you can erase your drawing with a simple click of a button. Amazing.
4. Reusable Sticker Books
Reusable sticker books are the newest hit with our little girl. We bought her a Daniel Tiger sticker book and it was her favorite thing of the entire road trip. They also have a Toy Story one that I’m saving for a future trip. What I love most is that they are reusable and easy to clean.
5. Busy Book
Something I keep in our car at all times is a busy book. These are handy to keep your toddler entertained, but quiet. They have all sorts on Amazon and Etsy.
6. Fidgets
Long road trips can get really boring, so be sure to pack a few fidgets for your toddler to play with. They sell multi-packs of them on Amazon, but you can pack a few random things you already have from home. We usually grab her pop it and some squishy toys or sensory tubes.
