The Scotch Tape Trick

I've been meaning to post about this for like a year. With summer upon us and travel season in full gear it seems like an appropriate time.

Here it is: If you go on a long car trip, take a roll of scotch tape with you. Actually, take one roll per child.

I learned this when we went on our big trip last summer. Scotch tape was one of those little things I'd packed in the 'junk drawer' in the RV. Even though I spent a couple months accumulating new and interesting toys to entertain Jacob on the long ride, the roll of scotch tape was what he ended up spending the most time being entertained by while in the car seat.

Ever since then I have kept a roll of tape in the glove compartment of each of our automobiles and it has come in handy o0n several occasions. Tape is one of those things that you hate for them to get into at home, so when you give them full access to it, it's like a little slice of Heaven for them. It's almost too easy!
