I'm having a hard time thinking of things to keep my Newly 4 year old and 21 month old entertained while in the car. I have paper back books and soft toys but the soft toys are boring to them as they are really ment for a baby. I do have a mini magna doodle for them both but I still wonder if that is unsafe??
any suggestions?

My two youngest are about the same ages. They usually bring a stuffed animal to play with. They are also facing each other - one ff, other rf - so they talk and play. We usually have Silly Songs on too, that helps.

My boys are 3 yrs. 9 mos. and almost 29 months.We've got the mini "drawing things" too. I don't like that they're hard, but they don't go for soft stuff (stuffed animals and books are just a waste of space in the car to them). The mini magna-doodles are the only thing they have in there and they do okay. They have special WonderPets ones JUST for the car, so they don't get bored with them so quickly.

Sometimes they'll each take a couple little trucks or something and on longer trips, we do also take a bunch of books (usually we'll buy several new ones so they will actually look at them for a little while). I admit...we're not great in the projectile department...but at least we don't have hammers and saws in the floorboard...

my kids like listening to the radio. In fact, Ruthie loves music so much she now will just make up songs and sing to herself... don't even need the radio for her.
