February 8, 2012 – 8:00 am | 2 Comments

In this series of blogs, the “Kid Blenders,” I will be addressing our challenges, trying to blend our two families together. The names of the children will be changed to spare the easily embarrassed. And let me be upfront about this: I’m no clinical expert. I’m just a single mom trying to figure life out as I go.

“Are We There Yet” Travel Busy Bag Review

“Are We There Yet” Travel Busy Bag Review

My family’s Tour de Colorado this summer involves a lot of travel. And a lot of travel means potentially bored children while we drive. In the past, I have packed every toy known to man children but our car ends up looking like a war zone and we quickly run out of activities.

That’s why I was delighted to review the “Are We There Yet” Travel Busy Bag. Local mom and Early Childhood Specialist Traci Geiser developed it among many other play and learn activity kits.

Pros: I give this kit two thumbs up because it kept my kids (ages 3 and 5) entertained for hours with items such as Wikki Stix, Playfoam, sticker scenes, a Where’s Waldo book with a magnifying glass, a Busy Book with laminated pages and much more.

Cons: It is a bit pricey ($34.95).

Overall: I would highly recommend the “Are We There Yet” Travel Busy Bag for your next vacation!
