5 Toys Under $15 To Entertain While Traveling
My boys don’t have spring break from school, they do however have April vacation. So we are already getting everything we need for our road trip. I’m going to be honest, I don’t necessarily enjoy road trips. But it is cheaper for our family of 5 to drive rather than fly anywhere. Don’t get me wrong I love traveling and when we stop along the way to our destination. But the ride (since my hubby does all the driving) is super boring for me. That is why I always buy things that will entertain my boys during the drive. With spring breaks happening and summer vacations not too far behind, we parents are looking forward to the much needed time off. However most of us are dreading the trek to our destination and back. That’s where these five toys – all under $15 – will keep the kiddos entertained and educated while traveling!
