EASY Portable Activity Kit for Road Trips

8 / 8 / 169 / 13 / 16

Portable Activity Kit for Road Trips | Mama Papa Bubba

After travelling all over the world with Miss G {hello 36 hour treks to and from Kuwait!}, a six hour road trip really isn’t a big deal to us.  That being said, our little lady is a huuuuuuuuuuge talker, and sometimes you just need to have a moment of quiet {or a moment to talk to your spouse} while in the car.  That, and sometimes our little Sam Jam just needs a moment of silence in order to fall asleep… Big sisters’  animated stories and ramblings are much too interesting to doze off to {obviously}!

Take Along LEGO Tic Tac Toe | Mama Papa Bubba

Grae and I love playing tic-tac-toe.  We play it down in the courtyard with sidewalk chalk, we play it at the beach in the sand, and we play it at restaurants with napkins and pens.  So why not play with LEGO too?!

Magnetic Rainbow Name Busy Box | Mama Papa Bubba

With Miss G being under the weather this week, we’ve spent quite a bit more time at home than usual.  This has allowed us loads of time to dress-up, read in our new fairy tale fort, play round upon round {upon round upon round} of UNO, and do all sorts of fun creative projects and activities – one of which was creating this fun magnetic rainbow name busy box.

Arrow Addition Matching Game

Addition Arrows Matching Game | Mama Papa Bubba

After the success of last week’s play dough subtraction smash, I decided that we’d focus on another playful math activity this week, and since Miss G’s been all about getting going with Valentine’s Day stuff since we took down our Christmas tree, I thought we’d incorporate that too.  While hearts were {of course} the first thing that popped into my mind, I wanted to switch things up a little, so an arrow addition matching game it was.

Christmas Tree Play Dough Kit

11 / 20 / 1411 / 27 / 18

Okay, so I admit it – we’re a bit play dough kit obsessed over here.  We can’t help it.  Play dough is something that we play with on a daily basis and having pre-made kits filled with dough and interesting loose parts makes it really easy to delve into the fun – everything that’s needed is right there in a container waiting to be taken out!  It also means that Grae can easily help herself to a kit and have a fun activity pre-prepared for independent play times, which I love.

Portable Activity Kit for Little Boys

Portable Activity Kit for Little Boys | Mama Papa Bubba

I feel like Miss G and I have been making homemade gifts like they’re going out of style lately {and I love it}.  This most recent one is exactly like the portable activity kit we gave her little friend Evelyn on her second birthday, only this one contains slightly different activities – things we thought a busy 3 year old would enjoy.  Now obviously the activities included in this kit are not just for boys {in fact, Miss G has already announced that she’d like the activity kit I’m making her to be exactly like this one} – it’s just that we gifted this particular kit to her little friend who happens to be a boy.

Portable Activity Kit for Little Travellers

Portable Activity Kit for Little Travellers | Mama Papa Bubba

Another birthday party means another opportunity for Grae and I to come up with a fun, homemade gift {which we love doing}.  This time around, we decided we’d put together a tinkle trunk filled with fun dress-up costumes and accessories similar to what Grae has in her dress-up station.  We were really excited about the idea until we realized that the birthday girl is headed home to the States just a few days after her party.  A tickle trunk simply wouldn’t do.  After some brainstorming, we opted for something she could bring along on her travels – a portable activity kit!  Our goal was to keep it as compact and lightweight as possible, while cramming in tons of fun {and quiet} things she could explore and play with during her travels.  Here’s what we included…
