Keeping a toddler busy over the Summer (and any other time) can be both fun and challenging! We recently tried out “water beads” that are a fun sensory experience and available on Amazon.
Last week we made time for friends at our local pool, park, and took a mini-road trip to Palm Springs. The heat was no joke so we planned the day during cooler hours.
Planning for the trip was so important! We left during nap time so Sylvan slept the entire way there and back. Otherwise, I was prepared with lots of snacks, toys, books, bubbles and his favorite “mom-approved” YouTube videos saved if we were able to get internet. If your kiddos get freaked out like mine being in a new place such as an Air BnB rental, use familiar items you brought to ease them into it.
We played with trucks in the gravel outside in the yard not long after arrival. Then came in for a snack in his familiar booster seat. All in all we survived our first road trip!
