Road Trip Travel Toy #1: Magna Doodle

This is the first in a brief “Road Trip Travel Toy” series. We’re leaving on a trip tomorrow, and my dear friend, who is traveling with us, packed up car bags for the older two kids. (She IS awesome, I know!) One item that she included, which we have purchased for road trips before, is similar to a Magna Doodle.
It’s unbelievable how the same kids, who sit in a house full of toys and say they’re bored, will sit and draw on a Magna Doodle for a good hour in the car. As long as it’s the same one as the other kid has, same colors and all.
Of course, ours isn’t exactly a Magna Doodle. We go for the dollar store version. It’s cheap, and gets us through the trip. It usually breaks at some point on the way home, which means it can go in the trash and I won’t be tripping over it for the next 5 years!
