This is what I've put together to occupy a 2 year old and 1 year old. Now keep in mind our van is also stocked with dual dvd players and movies!
A nice little stack of their favorite board books. Finn isnt much for books but Lorelai can be read to all day. She also loves to sit in the floor for many minutes and just look at them even herself.
Two coloring books, there is also a third hotwheels one. In addition to a big box of color wonder stuff. That is already packed in the van, since it was bought for the trip, I didnt bother to bring it upstairs.
Self contained fun!
My box of crayons!
I made this by cutting pieces of fabric and knotting them together. they can pull out the "wipes" all they want and just stuff them back in!
Unopened McDonald's toys. I've managed to keep these to act as "new toys" on our trip.
I bought them each small baking pans and made some magnets to use on them. I actually found this pack of 4 soldiers at Dollar Tree. I happen to love them better than the brand ones. They are made a lot bigger and less of a choke hazard!
Pipe cleaners!
A new book that's in the shape of a butterfly! Adorable!
Another self made magnet.
A little Jake and the Neverland Pirates zippered pouch. Just fun and cute.
I made magnets out of a box of alphabet flash cards. This box is actually a game. You mach upper case and lower case to complete the picture.
And of course, it is all self contained for convenience.
As I said previously I bought trays that attach around their seats for them to do their activities on.
I bought this at ltdcommodities for one of the best prices I found anywhere. It has plenty of pockets and will make it easy to play and not drop everything. Having to pick up toys every 5 minutes for 16 hours would be, well, balls(sorry best word I could think of for something that annoying.)
Just thought you guys would like to see!
