If you’re planning a long drive with kids, it’s only a matter of time before you hear those two famous words:  "I’m bored!"  This is usually followed up by the all -time famous travel questions:  "Are we there yet?"   It’s a known fact that kids can get very fidgety and antsy when they have to sit in one place for too long.  It’s so easy to pop in a movie or hand them your phone or tablet to play with, but if you are looking for some non-tech alternatives to entertaining your kids in the car, give one of these suggestions a try the next time you travel.

Coloring Book – This is a great way to keep younger children entertained on a long car drive.  This will require a lap desk or something for them to steady their coloring book on safely, but a small pack of crayons and a coloring book featuring a cartoon character or animal that they love will provide them with hours of fun.  Read more at Portland Chrysler Jeep.
