Taking a Road Trip?

By Director

Taking a road trip with young children, it can be stressful or enjoyable! If you’ll be joining us in Lansing on August 26, 2010 you’ll be taking a road trip with the kids and we want to help you prepare and make the trip enjoyable!  Whether you’re headed to the zoo, traveling to see grandparents or going camping driving for hours in a car can be fun if you’re organized.

1.  Snacks. Packing healthy snacks will save you money from stopping to eat and will be healthier.  Nick Jr. offers some easy to make snacks that can be packed and stored in a lunch box or cooler.

2.  Road Games. Easy and fun games like traveling Bingo will keep the kids busy and Nick Jr. offers free printables for families to create the Bingo game or coloring sheets. All you’ll need is a clipboard and crayons!

3.  Safety. Keep kids safe while traveling and everyone will be happier. Make sure your child is in their booster or car seat correctly. Make no excuses allowing children to unbuckle or not sit in their booster or car seat.

4.  Hydration. Keep everyone happy with water in reusable water bottles. For a great selection try The Soft Landing.

About

Funded with a grant from the Early Childhood Investment Corporation of the State of Michigan and the Kellogg Foundation, our project began in April of 2006. The goal of the project is to form multiple collaborative bodies in the state to begin development of a comprehensive system of early childhood care and education for 0-5 year olds and their families. This system is similar to the Smart Start system of North Carolina and the state of Michigan is receiving technical assistance in our efforts from the state of North Carolina.
