Kept My Kids Busy Without ScreensâTotal Win!
This book was a lifesaver on our road trip! It kept all three of my kids busy, happy, and entertained the entire timeâwithout needing screens. Thereâs such a good mix of activities: mazes, Mad Libs, scavenger hunts, writing prompts… even my older one got into it. I loved hearing them giggle and work together instead of arguing or asking for tablets. It also gave them a sweet way to capture memories from the trip. If you’re traveling with kids, you need this. It made the car ride part of the fun, not just the destination!âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸This book was a lifesaver on our road trip!

Fun, but flimsy.
The book is amazing and full of so many fun activities to do on a road trip. The only downside is that the pages fall out easy.
Angie B. –
Small but packed with ideas
Super helpful for occupying kids on long trips. Not sure if this mentioned a recommended an age range? Might be best for 8 – 12. Anything younger will need lots of adult help.

Fun
Keeps everyone busy and happy.

MANY activities, adorable book
MANY activities, adorable book! My son loves using this on his summer vacation road trip! He’s 9. It has tons of activities inside, puzzles, word searches, coloring, games, naming states as you go etc! It was the perfect book out of ALL of the others in my opinion 🙂

Perfect for tween and teens on both long or short trips.
This was so much fun to add to the swag bags for a surprise road trip for my kids. They had so much fun playing the activities in it and recapping the surprises and stops we had throughout our days trip.

Fantastic content, needs better spine glue
I bought this for my kids to use on a road trip this March. My oldest was so excited for it that she has already combed through every page, and it’s impressively full of screen-free activities that my kids are actually excited about! However, while we were using the travel bucket list to gain some ideas on what her priorities are for the trip, the pages in the front started detaching. Then, the cover fell off. I’m about to order another for my youngest, but we will be doing hole punches to put them in a notebook/binder that I now have to purchase to fit the book/s. I was so disappointed how quickly the book fell apart, and now it’s in 4 pieces. So that just adds more to do on my list. Really great content, but cheaply made and won’t last long at all.

Good for kids that spend a lot of time in car
Lynn Williams –
Good book but shame itâs American, canât spot road signs and number plates that are not in the uk.
Sharon Stewart –
Weâre a nice size and interesting activities for road trip.
Amy –
This book is awesome! It is extremely detailed and has so much variety of fun and unique activities. We have an upcoming trip, and I almost want to be the one to fill it in, rather than my daughter, lol!
