Putting it straight, arrange for good quantity of Lumi dough for the kids while planning your travel. And that will ease half the stress. If you want you can take the babysitter along. The kids will feel more homely in the car if they get their favorite toys and games to play with, while travelling.

Dough Activities for Travel

If at home you help out your kid to make things out of dough, travel with kids gives you a chance to let the kid be on his/her own. Tell him to repeat one of the things that both of you made a day before. This way you will be able to evaluate your kid’s sense of recal.

If you give your child the freedom to make whatever he or she wishes to make out of glowing play dough, the kid will enjoy the travel more than you anticipated. On the other hand, if you keep interfering in his/her play, the child may throw tantrums, which is something that you might regret.
