Sparkle Crafts: Car Ride Activities

Keeping little ones entertained on car rides can be quite the challenge. Every parent dreads the "are we there yet?" question that endlessly repeats from the back seat during a journey. If it's a short ride, you might get by with a few toys and some Sparkle Stories, but if you're hitting the road for a longer trip, our Sparkle team has offered up some ideas on how they keep their own kiddos busy. Here's to a peaceful, fun, and happy time on the road for all!

Toys for creative play

  • play silks
  • finger puppets
  • dolls or stuffed animals
