I try my best, but usually road trip + kids + snacks = mess anyway.
1-String cheese
2-Apple slices
3-Pretzels (stick pretzels & waffle pretzels are fun)
4-Fruit chews or fruit strips
5-Sliced red or yellow peppers
6-Squeezy applesauce pouches
7-Granola bars
8-Goldfish
9-Dried pineapple
10-Dry cereal (something fun like apple jacks, etc.)
Some of their other favorite things for when the going gets rough...
-licorice
-M&M's
-lollipops
-marshmallows
-fun juice boxes
Here's a few pics of some things that might be handy.

Sounds like what I pack for our girls, and we've done quite a few long trips now (comes with moving a province away from the grandparents). I put all of our snacks in a grocery bag just behind my seat, where I can grab it easily to pass it out to the kids (but my girls are 4 and 2 so need a bit more help with snacks). Anything "different" often helps... so I try to save things like cheese strings for road trips to make them more special. And we occasionally do things like mini oreos or cheezies, which they can hold and munch easily (but save those for when you really need something to keep the kids happy!). Good luck on your trip!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments. Sometimes, like this current trip, we stop for a milkshake, which makes everyone happy! We will see if this works on the return trip!
