This idea came to me when I took my last trip with my little and it was a big nightmare. Obviously my kid needs entertained 24/7 in the car, and few things make him content! This time however, I wised up and went prepared!
This project is customizable to your child's likes and I'm just going to give you a few ideas of what I used, which I think is pretty universal for most kids.
A mix of activities and snacks will make for a much smoother trip! (trust me on this one)
Books
DVDs (if you have a travel DVD player...if you don't have one, GET ONE! lifesaver)
Crayons
Colored Pencils
Markers
Coloring Books
Paper

Once you have all of your supplies together, put them in a good sized travel bag.
I recently bought my little a new bedding set for his big boy toddler bed, and the bag it came in was absolutely perfect!!!
Lately, I've been into labeling stuff since my organization skills, well, stink! I found some free labels that you can download and print out that are PERFECT for this little travel bag, not to mention perfect for 100+ other things around the house!
Look at that pantry...WOW I wish mine was that beautiful!

Also, this cool little travel tray is pretty good for long car rides. It allows them to write and eat without a mess in the car. I have one, and it's pretty nice. It is a bit flimsy, but it's good for long car rides, and allows my little to color on the go.
