10 ways to entertain kids on a car journey

kids in a car

Long car journeys with kids - the epitome of bliss and tranquillity... said no one ever! 😁 However, fear not! By implementing a touch of strategic planning and unleashing your creative genius, you can transform those seemingly endless hours on the road into a delightful and captivating adventure. πŸš—πŸ’¨ Having 6 children between us, we're bringing you our tried and tested strategies to keep your kids entertained during car journeys: πŸŽ‰


  1. Bring Audiobooks or Podcasts 🎧 Audiobooks or child-friendly podcasts are an excellent way to engage children's imagination and keep them entertained. Choose stories or podcasts that are age-appropriate and capture their interest. Let them choose their favourites or explore new ones together. Check out Audible for a wide range of children's audiobooks. πŸ“šπŸŽ™οΈ

2. Classic Car Games πŸš™ Remember classic car games like "I Spy" or "20 Questions"? These timeless games entertain and help build language and observational skills. They require no additional props and can be enjoyed by kids of all ages. πŸ‘€β“

3. Pack Snacks and Treats 🍿 Snacks can be a lifesaver during long car rides. Pack a variety of healthy snacks and treats that your children enjoy. Consider individual portion sizes and keep everything organized. Snack breaks can provide a welcome distraction and keep little tummies satisfied. πŸ₯ͺ🍎

4. Portable Arts and Crafts 🎨 Bring along a small art kit filled with colouring books, crayons or markers. These artistic tools can keep children engrossed in creative activities and unleash their imagination during the journey. Check out this portable art set with colouring supplies on Amazon. πŸ–οΈπŸ“’

5. Interactive Storytelling πŸ“– Engage your kids in interactive storytelling. Begin a story, and let each family member contribute to the plot by adding their own twists and turns. This collaborative activity fosters creativity, imagination and family bonding. πŸ“πŸŒŸ

6. Sticker Books 🌈 Bring along sticker books that feature various themes such as animals, vehicles or favourite characters. Sticker books allow kids to exercise their fine motor skills while creating colourful scenes and stories. They provide endless entertainment and can be easily enjoyed in the car. Let your children stick the stickers on the pages or even on their own designated sticker board. πŸŽ¨πŸ–ΌοΈ Check out this collection of sticker books on Amazon.

7. Mad Libs πŸ“ Bring along a Mad Libs book or print out some templates. These fill-in-the-blank stories allow kids to be creative with their word choices and create silly stories. It's a fun way to spark laughter and engage their language skills. πŸ˜„πŸ”€

8. Road Trip Bingo πŸš— Create or print out road trip bingo cards featuring common items seen during the journey, such as different types of vehicles, animals or road signs. Kids can mark off the items they spot, adding an element of competition and excitement to the trip. 🏁🚦

9. DIY Busy Bags πŸŽ’ Prepare individual busy bags for each child with age-appropriate activities such as small puzzles, colouring pages, stickers or small toys. πŸŽ’βœ¨

10. Travel-Sized Magnetic Drawing Board 🎨 Invest in a travel-sized magnetic drawing board where kids can doodle, sketch and erase their creations. It's mess-free and can provide endless entertainment. Check out this magnetic drawing board on Amazon. πŸ–οΈπŸ§²


These 10 entertaining activities can be your lifesavers on your road trip! So, buckle up, start the engine and embark on a fun-filled journey with your little ones! πŸŒŸπŸš—πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘¦

Wish we had found these a long time ago

We have been. using bed pads for years, but these are far better quality. We now have 2 and took the advice from the website, of popping them on top of the normal bed sheet and not underneath - saves extra washing of bed sheets on many a day.

Thank you for your fantastic review of PeapodMats, Julie! We really appreciate it.
