Smiles for Everyone! |
1. Properly prepare for the car ride. No matter the age of your kids, from babes to tots to teens, there are some things you can do to make the car trip better for everyone. Be sure to read out ROAD TRIP TIPS and I'm sure you will find something to help keep the ride smooth!
2. If your kids are small and like crafts, perhaps they can do a craft ahead of time and bring it as a gift for your host. Even if you are staying at a resort or hotel, surely the staff would love a special Thanksgiving drawing or desk decoration from their little guests! We suggest having them colour a picture or make something else that is small and easy to travel.
3. If you're not in a home setting for the big meal and are at a restaurant, plan ahead and bring something from home to make the table more home-y. We suggest having your kids make up name cards for the place settings or create a centrepiece. It's also a craft activity they can do a few days prior to your trip.
Seriously, are we there yet?? |
5. Extend the long weekend and make it a long-long weekend! For some Friday October 11 is a PA Day, giving families a chance to head out earlier than the Friday night rush. Use this extra day to your benefit and spend some time with the immediately family, before the big get-together. If you're looking for events or activities, consider any of the many great kids attractions north of Toronto.
