How to Travel with Lego Bricks

-


It's the holiday season, the time when many children find themselves going over the river and through the woods to Grandma's house.  Whether you're road tripping or taking a plane, these DIY Lego kits are perfect for taking the world's favorite bricks with you wherever you go.  Put them together for on-the-go fun at restaurants, doctor's offices, hotels, and more.



Lego Pattern Busy Box // Mama, Papa, Bubba- Pattern making and copying is an important part of reading and math preparations.  Encourage kids to look at their bricks in a new way with this printable Lego pattern box, perfect for restaurants

Lego Tackle Box // Simple Play Ideas- I'm normally a chaotic, messy person, but I love the convenience of a tackle box for storage and keeping anything I need at my finger tips (see how we use them in our homeschool here).  I find this Lego box extremely appealing.

Dollar Tree Lego Kit // Making Things is Awesome- If you're worried that your kids is going to lose his expensive Lego pieces while traveling, this "Fay-go" kit from Dollar Store bricks, plates, and containers is a great compromise.

Magnetic Lego Tray with Printable // Little Bins for Little Hands- Even if you have no interest in using magnetic with kids (this kit uses magnetic spice containers), you have to open this link just to grab the Lego building challenge cards.  It's a great printable to have just around the house for the "I'm bored" times.

Wipes Container Kit // Hello Splendid- Travel wipes containers are one of those things that you need intensely for several years, but once the diaper years are over, then what you do?  Turn those wipes containers into a Lego kit!  Click the link to read all about it.

Metal Lunch Box Kit // Hip 2 Save- My kids love metal lunch boxes!  They're so fun and have a great latch on them for keeping your favorite items securely stored together.  It's a simple step to add some Lego bricks to the inside and take it with you.

A Different Kind of Lego Kit // Jad Montenegro- I know this isn't a typical way to enjoy Lego bricks, but my husband (Bullfrog) is a plein air watercolor painter.  I put this kit in my roundup in case there are others like him out there.

Lego Altoid Tin // Crafts by Amanda- As you all know, I love Altoid tins for crafting, organization and storage!  I'm sure I've featured this idea before in one of my tin roundups, but this is a great chance to bring it up again.

Scrapbook Box Kit // The Good Stuff- A 12x12 scrapbook box and a few latch boxes make a large travel container for taking anywhere you want to go.

This blog article was originally posted on my first blog  In Our Pond .  I started out trying to put all my travel content on my homeschooling blog, but it grew to be too big.  So, I'm moving all the road trip stuff over here!  It'll probably take me a while to move all the posts, but I'll also be posting new content on here as well.  In Our Pond will now be exclusively for homeschooling and parenting content, while this blog (Party Through the USA) is for all the family travel posts.  Check them both out! I grew up camping, and love the smell of campfires and the way food tastes when it's been cooked over one.  Due to all the forest fires in the western part of the US and Canada, we haven't been able to have campfires for most of the summer.  Not being able to sit around the fire in the mornings and evenings is a bummer, but the real challenge comes in planning meals, especially for a large group.  When I was helping my mom plan our next camping trip, I deci

Travel Dice Games for Kids

Dice is great for camping and other types of travel, because they're tiny, heavy, and washable.  They don't take up very much room in your luggage and can often be stored in an altoid tin.  Most dice have some weight to them, so you don't have to worry about them blowing away if you're playing outside.  Lastly, plastic dice are washable, in case they end up in the mud or get grimy from being played by lots of people.  As we approach primary travel season, I've rounded up some awesome dice games from around the web. Dice is good for math practice, too.  As a homeschool family, we're always looking for ways to add fun into our school time.  Many of the games in this post promote number recognition, addition, probability, multiplication, and other math concepts.  I've also simplified many of the games to make them easier for kids to understand and win.
