 This
simple car game craft is a terrific way to serve up some travel
fun for your kids. You can easily create a tray full of magnetic
games and art supplies. It is a wonderful way to keep the kids
amused during a long road trip. Remember as with any toy be sure
it is age appropriate for your child.
Supplies Needed:
Baking
Sheet
Plain white Con-Tact Paper
Magnetic
tape
Dry
erase markers (variety of colors)
Small piece of cloth
A piece of ribbon
Buttons
Pocket style file folder
Directions:
Cover the cooking surface of your
baking sheet with white Con-Tact paper to be used as your drawing
surface. Place pieces of magnetic tape on each dry
erase marker and each button. Secure them to the bottom left
corner of the baking sheet. Tie one end of the ribbon to the piece
of cloth and attach the other end to the hole on the handle of the
baking sheet to provide an eraser. Create a storage area by
placing magnetic tape on the back of the pocket style file folder and
attaching it to the back of the baking sheet.
Use your drawing surface to create
such things as a Tic Tac Toe board (use the buttons for pieces),
an easel area for drawing pictures, Create an area to play Hang Man or
Checkers. For additional games fill your storage pocket crossword
puzzles, bingo cards, coloring pages, and/or mazes printed from the
internet or from All Star Activities Kids
Corner. The buttons can also serve the purpose of
securing the paper games to the drawing surface area while your child is
at work.
This is a very inexpensive way to
keep you kids amused because you can easily change the games for each
road trip. The mystery of what will be in the game packet is part
of the fun. It is important that the magnetic tray does not ever
come out unless you are going on a trip. Remember it is important to
include items that are AGE appropriate for your child.
Enjoy -- Have a great
trip!!!!
