Any tips on how to keep kids happy during the trip to our new home?
Before your family’s moving trip is underway – whether traveling by car or plane – remember to pack up plenty of gear to keep the kids from getting restless.
Things to take:
- Puzzle books, coloring games, maze books and word finders.
- Tape or CD players with individual headphones and a selection of your child’s favorite music and story tapes.
- Books on tape the whole family can enjoy listening to together. The classic children’s story "Charlotte’s Web" read by its author, E. B. White, is one of the best examples. A treat for any age, a book is also something everyone can discuss during breaks.
- Hand-held electric games – with adjustable volume controls or earphones, for obvious reasons.
- Cozy comforts, such as a child’s favorite pillow, stuffed animal toy or blanket.
