Promise a treat to be given after the journey...

Hide a favourite toy for a week or two and then 'find it' just as you leave or hand it to them if they become bored.

make sure they have their nintendo ds with them and a in car charger :-)

If at all possibe-DON'T.

bring the grandparents

take plenty of books treats music

If you are going on a long trip set off at their bedtime and they will more than likely sleep the whole journey.If they wake play games!

playing games like ispy, numberplate game, bingo is best!(look out 4 certain items on the road, signs,ambulances etc)u have fun as well!

travel at night time so the children sleep.

If you are going on a long trip set off at their bedtime and they will more than likely sleep the whole journey. Lots of snacks help too!

Keep them entertained by giving them snacks, playing counting games and most importantly riding smoothly so they can go to sleep!

Entertainment is a very good idea i.e a portable DVD player and wet wipes and tissues if they are having something to eat.

Portable games consoles with new games

tell the satsuma story. from tree to mouth with all stops in between. works with everything. cars being made. trees growing from seeds etc

Talk about where you're going and what's around you along the way. It's surprising where the conversations go.
