Hey guys! I'm Staci from lizard & ladybug.
I am loving the Roadtrip Ready series that Kelli is having!!
I'm thrilled she's having me today!
I don't know about you but having 2 little ones (4 and 6) in the car for more than a Target run can be stressful. In the event we have to take a long trip, I've put together some baskets for each of them full of goodies to keep them quiet busy :)
I ran to Dollar Tree to pick up a few essentials.
Baskets, lined paper, magnetic letters, flash cards and pizza pans.
The pizza pans are magnetic and make the perfect 'board' to use the letters.
I also added some crayons and a crayon box.
I found these cool 'window' markers (anyone try them?)
I thought the kids would get a kick out of writing on their windows.
The kids can draw, play with the letters, practice their math (lizard) and letters (ladybug)
And if all else fails, I have candy :)
There you have it. My "Keep Them Busy Baskets".
Thanks for letting me visit & I hope you'll stop by my blog and say Hi!

Thanks for having me today!!
I'm using these baskets tonight..and we've already tested the window markers :)
I love the idea of a basket! My girls use fabric bags to put their stuff in but a basket would stay firm and hold their stuff better. Good idea!
This is a great idea! I have just recently seen the window markers and I need to pick them up.
Travel baskets are such a great idea. And those window markers look like such fun!
CUTE! Love the magnetic letters and pizza pan idea. So smart!
Wow, what great ideas! The pizza pan one is the best.
Awww! Love your blog! Hope you will visit mine too! Let me know if you want to follow each other!

We LOVE our window markers! Also, a pack of sidewalk chalk to use when you stop at roadside parks -- sometimes a little outside art time is good! On the back of your pizza pan, use some duct tape to grid a tic-tac-toe board; grab 2 sets of matching magnets and that's a quick game for the older kiddos!
This is a great idea. I already have a few of these baskets!
What great ideas!
I'm hosting a blender giveaway... would love to have you enter :-)

I think I may have to put our window markers in the car! Great idea!
Love the idea of the window markers! I'll have to grab some before our big GA trip. Thanks for sharing.
I let each of my kids pack their own bag with whatever they want and then I pack a separate one full of things like this that I think will keep them entertained! Great ideas! :)
