Simple, easy road trip activity

You know how playdough will keep kids occupied for forever? No mom wants to bring playdough on a car trip (imagine that cleaning disaster!), but I have another option for you.

Pipe cleaners.

Yep, give them a bag of pipe cleaners and the kiddos in the backseat will make amazing sculptures, jewelry, mustaches, and more.

Try it. You'll always keep some in your Road Trip Activity bag!

Flat Katy on adventure

Are you traveling with the family? Are you going somewhere without the kids? Bring Flat Katy with and share her adventures via Instagram. It'll be fun!

Our Flat Katy is a fabric paper-doll sort of thing that Grandma found at a craft sale. Yours might be a paper drawing. It might be Flat Stanley or Flat Sarah. Get creative.
