Car and Restaurant Activities

Need a few activities to help keep your toddler occupied in the car or at a restaurant? I found some of these ideas in a magazine and added onto the list with some of my own. If you have any other ideas, please add to the list in the comments section!

Travel Size Magna Doodle
Notepad and crayons
Notepad and stickers
Deck of Cards - Depending on your child's age have them sort by color, number, or suit. If your child is really young have the cards in a baggie that they can get them out of, pass them out around the dinner table while you are waiting for your food, and put them back in.
Sticky Notes - Doodle on them or arrange them in a cool design.
Emergency Lollipop
Favorite CD - Ours is "Favorite Pre-K Songs" http://www.kidzup.com/
Mini Aquadoodle - This is the coolest! It comes with four pages of your favorite characters (We have Sesame Street) and a mini water pen. Just fill the pen with a water and color away. A minute later the color starts fading and you can color it again!
Bandaids - Play doctor or just decorate themselves (I haven't tried this one yet.)
A Favorite Book
