I Spy With My Little Eye…
I’m on vacation this week (hence, the fewer posts). And nothing challenges you as a parent more than being trapped in a car for hours on end with restless children…
Enter the “I Spy? game.
You don’t need a book to play this game – remember it from when you were little? But with really small children, a book really helps. My three year old, for example, finds it difficult to look out of the window. And her “I Spy? options inside the car aren’t terribly noteworthy – they get old after a few minutes. But “I Spy? in a book? It’s brilliant.
My kids have “I Spy? from Disney’s Cars movie. Both kids are crazy about the movie – talking cars? Who knew? And the book is great. It is literally page after page of crazy illustrations that challenge the kids to find certain tires, oil cans and more. The best part? The kids aren’t finished after 5 minutes. They can play for hours – and find different things each time.
Next time that you’re planning a car trip, consider throwing one of these books in the car. Trust me, you’ll thank me later.
