Any tips for traveling with a toddler?

blooming c

Sorry if it's been asked before. I have a 5 hour drive tomorrow with my almost 2 year old. Any tips on keeping him entertained? (No DVD player in my car, by the way.)

Answer
Make a bag with lots of little toys and fun snacks......Then hide it and take out each one as he gets fussy....the dollar store if best for this and then get some simple tissue paper to wrap them up if you have time....if not just getting something new is a big deal.

Get some tapes with children's stories....drive when it is his napping time...in the morning have him run around at a park or something to tire him out......Then take a couple breaks at parks where he can run and get out energy.
