Keeping Young Children Busy In The Car(Child-Approved) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

magnetic-backed letters, numbers and toys (that you may have around the house)
stainless steel cookie sheet or cake pan with lid
zip-lock style plastic bag
self-adhesive-backed magnetic strips (optional)

Preparation

Gather all the magnetic-backed toys your kids play with (don't forget those stuck to your refrigerator) or create some of your own by attaching self-stick magnets to the backs of small toys and put them in a plastic bag for the trip.
Once on your way, your child can spell words or create pictures on the cookie sheet or cake pan with the magnets.
An alternative to magnets are vinyl shapes and forms that stick easily to the side car windows and can be removed and stored in a jiffy.
(Do not put on rear windows, as this can obstruct the view of the driver.)
