Car Trip Activities & Crafts #gluenglitter

Today we are going to look at a simple craft to help keep kids sane on that super long road trip!

This is a great craft for the car because it doesn’t require many supplies, and it serves a purpose! It’s a simple craft box. It can be used to hold souvenirs, photo’s from you trip, post cards, and anything else you pick up along the way (I have a rock collector).

Items You Need:

- Box with a lid

- Construction Paper

- Crayons & Colored Pencils

- Foam Stickies, Stencils, Stickers (If you choose a state themed box it might be nice to pick up some state stickers from you local craft store)

- Glue Stick

- Safety Scissors

- Plastic grocery bag (this craft will produce trash, so go ahead and hook the plastic bag to the arm rest).

- Sandwich Bags and/or a shoe box to carry these supplies.

- Travel Guides for the state(s) your visiting. You can order these for FREE here.

Step 1: Have your child cut out all of the places they would like to visit and things they would like to do and see while on vacation. Give them a sandwich bag to keep these in while they work.

Step 2: Use the glue stick to cover the entire area of the box (one section at a time) with glue.

Step 3: Place each picture on the box, gluing the back of each one as you place them.

Step 4: Create a name plate using construction paper, crayons, and stickers.

Step 5: Fill the box with all of your travel treasures.

This is a super simple craft that can keep you child entertained for hours (depending on how small his/her pictures are). I personally like to reserve the bottom of the box for actual photo’s of our trip (we decoupage them on).
