It works as a lap board and can hold small pieces.  You can add magnets to game pieces and draw checker boards or other games on it.\n<li>Car bingo and gummy bears.  Check out these bingo cards.<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/craftsanddeals.blogspot.com\/2011\/05\/road-trip-bingo.html<\/p>\n<li>Pipe cleaners to make animals and other items.\n<li>Aluminum Foil.  Kids can create jewelry, hats, animals, allow the kids to express their creativity.\n<li>Origami. Fish, Frog, Turtles, Boats, Stars, Flowers.  Hours of fun.\n<li>Crosswords and word searches.\n<li>Items from the dollar store.  Coloring books, and a bag of balls.\n<li>Paper dolls and clothing to color.\n<li>Familyfun.com has great papercraft ideas.  Just cut the needed paper before you leave.<br \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My sister&#8217;s family is taking a very long road trip and is not looking forward to the long hours in the car with 5 kids.
