I found this little nugget in an e-mail I received from babycenter.com. A fun tip submitted by a reader. We are doing an epic road trip this summer to Canada. I do believe maps will be in order.
"When we took a recent trip, I printed out a few maps for our daughter so she could get a sense of how far we were traveling. I highlighted our route and drew landmarks on the map about every 60 miles or so. I knew that she loved it when she asked me if she was going to have maps again for an upcoming trip." — Kris
Love it. I can see expanding this idea. Maybe the kids check off each landmark as we pass it? Maybe we make a special mark for the places we will be stopping for a break or a little sight seeing? Maybe we make it a bit of a scavenger hunt? Maybe we add some local trivia about each landmark? What other ideas do you have for using maps to make your road trip more entertaining and engaging?
