Travelling in a car with young children can be a challenge. The key is to be prepared and creative in the ways you entertain them. Plan stops to give both the adults and children a short break.

Dress in comfortable clothes for travelling, regardless of where they are going. The children can always get changed when the destination is reached or even at the last stop, if required.

Make sure you are prepared. Remember to organise books, a few toys, a selection of CDs and of course, plenty of food and drinks to try and make the journey as pleasant as possible. DVD player, DS, ipads or the like can be used, but in the car is a great place to indulge in some old fashion travel games.

Here are some of ideas that will help wile away the hours while travelling-

*Listen to music on CDs. Vary what you are listening to- try some kid’s tunes, with both action songs and just listening music. Don’t be afraid to listen to a few cds with adult music. Children often love these too. Encourage children to join in with the singing. If appropriate and safe, open the window and let them sing into the wind. They will love the way their voice changes.

* Listen to short stories on CD. If available, read books along with the stories. Most children will be happy just listening to them though.
