Fascinating times with measuring tape, Bingo boards, and puzzles!

These 3 simple items provide a long time of entertainment for my 2 year old!

Cheap 99-cent measuring tape (I got mine from Hobby Lobby) made for fantastic entertaining! What fun to pull out all the tape and then wind it back up with the push of a simple button. Very easy for little fingers. I bought 3, one for each of my kids! The measuring tapes added additional fun to my 6 year old, as she liked to measure things around her. My 4 year old has just as much fun as my 2 year old with this "toy."


These old fashioned Bingo boards are great! My older two love to look for the pictures and then close the windows when they find them, while my youngest loves opening and closing all the windows over and over again.

Puzzles by Melissa & Doug are great for the car because there are no loose pieces! On this one below, your child moves all the cars, trucks, buses, etc. to their proper "homes."

You are so creative. I'm going to try some of your ideas next time we travel. Can't wait to read your book!
