Than to take the child on the road

When we are planning a trip to relatives, or not a distant trip by car to the sea, we prefer to go by our own car. Naturally, this is strictly individual and convenient, the route depends only on us. In his car everything is done according to our needs and desires, and children feel at home, because in the car everything is familiar and familiar. But there are some disadvantages here. It is hard for a small child to spend several hours in a motionless state in a child's chair, so they throw out all the accumulated energy through pampering and whims, show discontent. That children are not bored and not capricious on the road, we will tell you what to do to take the child on the road.

For a child, the real stress for a long time is in a closed and limited space. Only babies easily endure the road, because they eat and sleep most of the way, and the grown-up children get tired of the monotonous situation.

Than to occupy the child?
1. Let's listen to fairy tales and music .
Take music CDs with poems, children's fairy tales and songs. A small fidget will listen to favorite fairy tales and favorite songs. We sing songs together, and if their child knows, then one can sing the lines of a song or couplets in turn. Good entertainment is voice riddles. For example, a father or mother tells a poem, or a song, constantly changes the intonation of the voice, and the child, by the specifics of speech, tries to guess which animal or fairy-tale character it all sounded.

2. Let's paint .
The child on the road will take up drawing, for this we take a small album or a magnetic board with crayons. If the kid does not know how to draw, he will see how you draw. Draw a fairy tale, and do not notice how time will pass.

3. We will please the child with a toy-surprise.
On the road prepare for the child a few old long forgotten toys. And when he gets tired of everything, and he will be capricious, we'll give them to the baby. We take a bottle with soap bubbles on the way, children are very happy when transparent iridescent balls burst on their own head or on the palm of their mother.

A new toy book with Velcro, rustles, laces and bright illustrations can take a child for a long time. The boy needs to take a new typewriter, and the girl a pupa with different accessories. Still like a children's mobile phone, a musical toy with a lot of buttons and with different tunes, it is better to choose with pleasant and quiet sounds. You know the tastes of your child.

4. Play with stickers .
Instead of sticky plasticine and inconvenient colors in the car, we'll take a book with stickers. When the baby gets bored with modeling them on ready-made subjects, come up with something for yourself. To do this, pre-cut shapes - triangles, squares, circles, ovals from self-adhesive color film and paste them on the cardboard. A kid with the help of such a game will be able to learn geometric shapes. Or we'll just buy a sheet of stickers and make up a fairy tale or picture the whole picture.

5. We will arrange a puppet theater .
We'll put a puppet show with the child, and the actors will have their own fingers. If there are figures for the finger theater, then this is good, but if not, it does not matter. We'll take old gloves with us, cut off our fingers, and draw a funny mug with felt-tip pens.

6. Let's play in the "Guess the subject".
The kid painted, ate, slept, what else to do? Let's play with the kid in objects or in colored cars. We look in the window and guess the color of the car. Whoever sees the car first will win. We do the same with objects. Let's choose a bicycle, a cow, a field of sunflowers, a river, a bridge and compete, who will notice them first. Give the opportunity to win the baby.

7. We'll arrange physical culture.
During active games we use stops. And no matter how slow you are, you can not do without it. Psychologists and pediatricians argue that if a child is tired of sitting still, it can not be interested in any occupation, no matter how interesting it is. Carefully follow his baby and determine the stop time by his reaction. Children up to 6 years of age need a stop depending on temperament and character every 3 hours.

After that, play hide and seek, jump, run. The kid needs to consume all the energy that has been accumulated. When the kid is tired from sitting, and there is no possibility to stop often in the car, then we will arrange dancing in the car. We'll include funny songs and turn the head together with it, we podder legs, clap hands. In turn, we call the parts of the body that we will move. In addition, for the child it will be an anatomy lesson. The dances of the tongue, nose, eyes, eyebrows or lips look ridiculous. Your baby is delighted with this? But you already arrived.

Here is a list of things that are needed in the car salon, which you need to take with you:

  1. Juice with a straw or drink in a bottle-non-spill.
  2. Food that does not crumble: dried fruits, small sandwiches with cheese, sliced ​​apple, yogurt with a straw, bananas.
  3. Wet and paper napkins.
  4. A small pillow.
  5. Pampers and replaceable set of clothes.
  6. Mobile phone and camera. You can show the child the game from your phone or photo.
  7. Discs with children's songs and fairy tales.
  8. Children's books.
  9. Small toys: musical toys, a small designer, soap bubbles, cars.
  10. Pencils, album and magnetic board.
  11. First Aid Kit.


Now it is clear what you can do in the way of the child. Pack all things in a bag, it will always be at hand and will not take up much space. The rest of things and items are put into the trunk, because when the cabin is cluttered, it causes fatigue in adults and children and additional inconveniences. Have a great rest and a happy journey!
