The vacation season is about to begin. All are waiting for short and long journeys by car and train, as well as hours-long flights. No matter how old the child is, the parent must always think in advance how to brighten up long hours on the road and not let you get bored. Moreover, you can have fun on the road with the whole family - so the road will be easier for everyone.
Get together with your child
Get together to prepare your child for the road. Discuss what he wants to take with him on a trip. Explain if there are restrictions on volume or weight. Better give a bag that he can fill with his toys, books, and hand him the scales. First, the child himself often knows better what he wants to play with now and in the near future. Secondly, in this way you will show that you trust his decision and treat him like an adult.
However, it is necessary to carefully check the luggage collected by the child and add to the bag with toys the means with which time on the road will fly by unnoticed. We suggest checking with our list of things that will not let you get bored either by children or parents.
- Films and cartoons
Make your favorite cartoons or feature films for children. A great idea would be to pick up cartoons or movies about traveling with the whole family. They will perfectly set everyone on an adventure, and the road will seem short and easy. For example, several episodes of the animated series "Three Cats" are great, where kittens Karamelka, Korzhik and Kompot with their parents go out for a picnic, dive at sea, and in one of the series they even sail on a ship to photograph a whale.
- Coloring and felt-tip pens
After watching your favorite cartoons, you can take a break and paint your favorite characters a little. This way of spending time is not suitable for a car, but it is very useful in an airplane or train. Just do not take paints or pencils: water for paints can spill, and broken pencils are not easy to sharpen on the road. Stock up on colorful pens and pens.
- Books
Take your child one favorite book. Everyone has it - it can be read from anywhere and practically recited by heart. Such a book raises a bad mood and sets in a positive way even the most tired baby. In addition to her, take some interesting new book. Also pick up children's magazines that will captivate the child during the long journey.
- Audio tales
Each parent agrees: sometimes mom and dad or the child have no strength to read. In such cases, audio tales or audio performances come to the rescue. You can enjoy the story with the whole family, or you can give the child headphones and be absolutely calm that he is having fun and reading at the same time.
- Toys
Younger children are happy to play with their favorite dolls and cars, and older children will be occupied by small designers and puzzles for a long time. Let the child choose a toy on the road that can captivate him for a long time.
- Board games
Traveling versions of scholar, mini-monopoly, dominoes, small chess and checkers - all of them will occupy the family for a long time. And most importantly, you can not only have fun with them on the road, but also arrange evenings of board games during your entire vacation.
- Riddles, charades, puzzles
Take care in advance and pick up fun puzzles for the whole family. You can guess everything together. Even more fun if you ask your child to think about some riddles or tasks (for example, which they were asked at school). Let the child also offer you some puzzles, and you try to solve them.
Have some surprises
Favorite cartoons and toys - that's great. The child will be happy to deal with them on the road. But even greater, incomparable pleasure will bring him small surprises. For example, if you prepare a cartoon that he has never watched, but has long wanted to see. Or buy a new toy that he always dreamed about.
The main thing in the journey is a positive attitude and a desire to enjoy the whole family from the very first minutes of the trip. Talk, discuss everything you see and want to see, relax together and together - relax with pleasure.
