Travel Kiddy Giveaway!!-ended- CONGRATS VERA!!

I am SOOOO excited about this new product that I reviewed.

The company is Travel Kiddy, and simply put, they make products that make parent's lives easier!

As a homeschooling parent of 4 children, I have had all kinds of differing thoughts regarding childrens activities in the car on long trips. When my first child was a baby, I remember being appalled at those who turned on their car DVD player to take a short trip to the grocery store. I just wanted to talk to my son as often as I could, and encourage his love for learning. After I had my second, third, and fourth child, those DVD players were looking pretty cool!! After I bought a car with one in it, I couldn't fathom taking a long trip without one! The car was peaceful, the kids were entertained, and I could THINK.

But as quiet as the car was, I still struggled with the fact that sitting in the car, watching cartoons for hours and hours is NOT the best activity for growing brains. But I also recognized that my time in the car is the ONLY time I ever get to clear my head and relax. There must be a way to keep their creative juices flowing, yet keep them happy and entertained while we focus our minds and our driving.

So, the question remains, "How can I keep my children entertained (and somewhat quiet) on long trips, without turning them into Spongebob-Addict Zombies?"

The answer? TRAVEL KIDDY!!!!!!



When the kid arrived, my kids went bonkers. They were pulling items out of the bag, and yelling out to eachother which treasure they had come across. The phrases, "I love these things!" "Oh wow!" "I haven't seen one of these in a long time!" "I can't wait to use this!" were flying around here like crazy!

Just look at all the items that come in a standard Travel Kiddy Pack!

I love this kit and could really use it with our vacation coming up. 12 hours in the car with two small children - I need all the help I can get. Thanks for the giveaway!

What great travel activities. My boys would love to make masks. What a great September project that would be:)I do agree, some of the greatest conversations have occurred in the car.

This is a great idea. I was trying to put something like this together, but maybe now I won't have to!!

Oh my!

We are about to take a 2000+ mile trip following old Rt 66. I am so glad to hear about this company.

I am stocking up on audio books, and want to make each child a bag of thing to keep him busy. I had no idea such a place existed.

Off to learn more...

ps - No DVD player in our vehicle. I'm still holding steadfast to no TV in the car. ;)
