Pack each child their very own activity bag. Then, in the car, plane, or train each kid can have their own activity bag at their feet.
It saves time and effort looking through one gi-normous activity bag for little Johnie’s ipod or Jane’s book.
And separating the activities means that each child has to be responsible for their own belongings. Not a bad life skill to learn.
Good call. The kids enjoy it that much more as well, when it’s their very own (which can actually encourage sharing sometimes too!).
