So, actually today’s prompt is clock and tomorrow’s is light, but I decided to switch them simply because this sunrise won’t be here tomorrow. I love the way the sun comes up and starts casting it’s light down into the valley! Definitely a chilly start out there… Starting to feel like fall. ❤
So to be perfectly honest with you, this past week has been more than a tad hectic, and I didn’t do any new activities with Becca that would fit in this segment. SO, I decided to create a list for you of previous posts that have activities that would be easy to throw together for taking on a trip, and can either be used in the car, or at Grandma’s house.
Obviously, the past two Traveling Tuesday posts make it top on the list for you:
– Race Car Mats/Binder
But here are some other activities for you as well:
– Sensory Gel Bag (you can make it any color and add anything to it to fit any theme)
– Of course, books are ALWAYS a fabulous option for your road trips! Our Fall Favorites are here.
– Play dough is super fun at Grandma’s house – you might even send her this link and suggest that she have the ingredients on hand, so she can make play dough with your child once you arrive! Then, it’s easy for her to bag up and send back home with you as a fun reminder of the fun they had together.
– A sensory activity like my “Buried Treasure” post is easy to put together (in an even smaller container than I used) and stick in a bag for Grandma’s house!
– My activity boxes are something else that’s easy to throw in a bag – and most of what’s in my boxes would be great in the car, too – especially if you take an activity tray with you for your child to put in his/her lap to allow for more activity in the car.
I have lots of fun ideas in store for the next few weeks to share with you – I just need to implement them so that I can share photos with you!
Happy Travels!
P.S. If you aren’t already following my Facebook page, I often share links from other blogs and such on there that might give you even more fabulous ideas… simply click “like” over on the right hand side of this blog, and then be sure to go in and occasionally “like,” “share,” or “comment” on my posts to ensure that they show up in your news feed. Facebook won’t automatically show you my posts just because you have liked my page. They select which pages to show you in your news feed based on which pages you respond to most often. 🙂
I’m his mama… Do I need to say more?
A picnic in the family room… I’m her mama… Two amazing kiddos. Yup, I’m lucky!
Inspired to write the other day while at the beach, I looked out of the tent and watched Becca and Cody building sand castles and flying over the waves, and wrote this. I love you, Cody Hinnant! Thank you for being the best Daddy in the whole world to our children!
In Daddy’s Arms
In Daddy’s arms, there are butterfly wings to fly through the air.
In Daddy’s arms, there are pirate’s swords to swashbuckle with the best of them.
In Daddy’s arms, there are fish fins to brave any crashing waves.
In Daddy’s arms, there is safety.
In Daddy’s arms, there is imagination.
In Daddy’s arns, there are stories and puzzles and “cars on the cool rug” and movies and endless episodes of Super Why and Lil Einsteins.
In Daddy’s arms, there are hugs and snuggles.
In Daddy’s arms, there is love.
In Daddy’s arms, there is a girl, a boy, and the luckiest Mommy in the world.
And there’s nowhere any of us would rather be, than
In Daddy’s Arms.
I made a train for the decoration on this page set! Can you tell Mommy got to scrapbook this weekend?
