Dubbo is a long way from our family in Sydney so we often find ourselves in the car with Bear for many hours at a time. We have just returned from our second holiday to the South Coast with Bear. We made the same journey this time last year and had such a fantastic time we've braved the drive again. That's a 570km drive (7 hours) according to Google maps. It took us longer than that - but who's counting? I thought that I would share some of Bear's favourite things to do in the car at 18 months.
*Anything is much more exciting when presented in a mystery bag! Other games we play together are: - truck spotting - peek-a-boo - legs in, legs out, legs up, legs down Meals and snacks are a great way to pass time. I save the sweet treats until the last 2-3 hours. Other ways that we maintain our sanity include:
- We hit the road first thing in the morning - We make play stops every 2-3 hours - the grown ups eat while the Bear stretches his legs - We enforce quiet time when Bear gets cranky (Bear doesn't sleep in the car!!) - I sit in the back and have fun with him for the last hour to leave a pleasant memory for next time :)

My name is Vicky and I have 3 boys - Bear (10), Fox (8) and Wolf (6). Somehow I stumbled across Montessori and now my goal is to raise and educate my children with a Montessori approach in Dubbo. Archives
