Then, I have an active, enthusiastic 4-year-old girl who loves moving, educational activities, and preschool cartoons. Here are some things that worked for us on our trip: WORD GAMES First, we had a list of word games that we could play in the car. Some of these were easy enough for our 4-year-old and some were not, but none of them required anything other than the use of your brain. I made this list and now ke...
