I used a small margarine container and made a small hole, just large enough for the Pom Pom and then a slightly larger one that was easier. Once they could do the bigger hole, I challenged them to do the smaller one. When they mastered that, I got a Puffs snack container and put a bunch of small holes and cut down pipe cleaners to fit in the bottle. You could also use a Pringle’s can. The pipe cleaners bend, so it’s more challenging!

Thanks! It’s still a favorite around here. I’m heading over to check out your list now! We have another road trip coming up and I’m on the hunt for activities! =)

That’s a smart idea! I’ll definitely have to try that next time. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks Mary! We have some road trips planned this summer and I keep referencing what we’ve done before that has been successful. The cars and the bubbles are always favorites! Thanks for visiting!

We’re going on a 10-hour road trip this summer, and I’m nervous about my 18-month-old. I’ve spent a couple hours on Pinterest looking for ideas, and this post is by far the most realistic and practical one I’ve found! Thank you!

Each of my kids have one. Sometimes my husband will draw things for them and then they “color” them in.

On one trip we took, we got a bunch of kazoos, whistles, train whistles, and slide whistles. During one of the longer parts of the drive, I handed them out and we all made music. The kids loved it. You definitely want to take them back, otherwise you’ll end up with a headache.

Ooh, I will have to try that! Thanks for the tip! 45 minutes was a bit ridiculous… 😉
