Here’s a tip on a less expensive option to laminating:
Get some plastic sheet protectors (on sale now) and slip the papers into those. Expo markers will wipe off with a tissue or you can use babywipes if the marker dries too much. I did this all the time when teaching for practicing math facts, mad libs during rainy day recess, etc. It also makes for easy storage in a 3 ring binder and provides the ability to recycle the sheets and reuse when the children outgrown certain sheets.
Make sure they are the shiny, smoothy sheet protectors not the really cheap, flimsy one that are rough and bumpy. It won’t work on those.
Since I brought up Mad Libs, your kids are going into K and 2, right? If you haven’t already tried those, that might be fun on a road trip.
What an awesome roundup of road trip printables!! Thanks for including our activity pack. Pinning your post!
P.S. I live just outside of Seattle too. Small world!
Thanks, Malia! I was excited to find the printable and your site. I hope to send some folks your way! 🙂
If you have a kid like mine who gets car sick with any visual activities, try storynory.com. They have FREE! downloadable mp3 stories that are everything from folk tales and myths from around the world to original stories about teenage witches, or frog princes, or space operas, or teen rock bands. My 8 year old has been listening for years and loves them!
They’ve also got an app you can put on an iOS device (don’t know about others) but I just download directly from their website to my itunes. You can also play right from the website if you want to preview first.
