Our family is headed to Nebraska this weekend for Mothers Day! lucky me! it is a 10 hour trip from where we live. It is a tradition of mine to make each one of my kids a busy box to help pass the time during our adventure!. Here are a few pictures of what is included... Good luck to me! I am going to need it along with a great deal of patience!
Have a great week! Happy Mothers Day to those creative moms
Thanks for visiting and be creative in all you do!

1. I always add a black note book with a cover design that pertains to our trip. This time it will be Mount Rushmore and some historical facts about Nebraska. I also add a pencil zipper pouch with new crayons, pens, scissors, glue, and don't forget a roll of tape!. Inside the folder I attach to do papers from the wonderful site http://www.momsminivan.com/
2. This is Lap buddy how ever it is very expensive and not so kid tested!. I am going to take the plastic one from Walmart and cover it with some attractive Fabric and then add some pins so that they can add their own art work from the trip.
3. Creative Dot Moms Favorite Art projects for travel...
- Pipe Cleaners of all colors; kids can make just about anything out of pipe cleaners
- Tin Foil; our favorites are hats and headbands
- Beads, buttons and Ribbon; necklaces, bracelets and bookmarks
- Balloons; balloon animals and puppets, this is a good activity to get wiggles out
- Popsicle sticks and a coloring book; my little women love to write and create plays
- Scrapbook embellishments and a Notebook; They love decorating their travel journals and on the way home of our trip we have a sharing moment and they pick there favorite thought on the trip. Love this one!
