Toddler Travel Tip-Print the Maps!!!

Before we took our week-long road trip, I looked up pins to get ideas to made the trip easier.  The best tip I came across that I actually tried, was printing the maps for the trip.

We broke the trip into two days each day, so I printed out each day separately.  Each day, I showed the 4 year-old where we were starting, and where we would end.  She randomly throughout the trip would ask me to show her where we were.  I pulled out the Star Wars folder and pen, and circled about where we were.  She absolutely got it.  Giving her a visual to associate time with was brilliant.

Do it.
