How to Occupy the Backseat Lookin’ a little stressed there! Driving with two children, I get why you would be. Nice weather is making its’ way to us which means school will be out in no time and you will be stuck driving around Plattsburgh, NY with a backseat filled with toys, food, and probably something stuck to the seats. I mean you can play some sing-a-longs but how long will that last? Probably ten- never-mind. Here are a few games- let me finish… games that kids could play in the car while your focus is still on getting from point A to point B safely. I Spy: This game will get their attention quickly! You pick something out like a dog, a gas station, or something creative like a lion… they will keep looking! Each time they find something, give them two minutes of TV time. Yellow Car: Each time a yellow car is spotted, someone gets a piece of candy! Get ten in a row and you win! Would You Rather: My favorite! This game can get as creative as the passengers in the car! Take turns asking “Would you rather” questions, they can be silly, funny, honest, it’s up to you. This is great for those short trips to grandma's house. Hangman: While the kids have paper and a crayon, you guess the letter, the draw! Perfect distraction from the long ride! These are just some of the games that could be played on your next ride with the kids. Include letters, colors, shapes in all these games to make them educational. Another idea is to grab a list from a teacher of what they are learning in the classroom and incorporate these ideas into these car games! Keep that list in the vehicle so anytime you’re in the car, they work on something new! Remember to reward them when the children guess something correct! Driving with your kids has never sounded better! Learning AND driving?! What a bargain. Occupy THIS backseat!

It’s the Simple Things Hauling groceries around is one thing, but getting to the car and not having a place to fit them all is another.

Or that heavy football gear? Solution! Getting plastic bins or crates and adding them to your trunk! You must be thinking that it cannot be that simple. Oh but it is! Find ones that fit your truck size and add the groceries or equipment in them. Turn them over on their side and create a simple shelf. This creates more room for all that you bring in your vehicle. This is a simple DIY project that can be done in about five seconds! This will create more of an organization system as well as control where the groceries go, (or don’t go). This is also a great, easy way to bring the groceries inside. Just pick up the crate! Make your life easier with just adding supplies you can find anywhere. Crates and Bins can be found at most local stores like the dollar store, Wal-Mart, and Target.
