Oh, these kids with their inexhaustible energy! We adults are always surprised: “How can you jump, run, ride a bike all day and not get tired at the same time?” But a real headache comes when you need to go somewhere with the kids, and you don’t know what to do with the children on the train.
We collect things
Before you go on a long trip with the children, you need to think through everything to the smallest detail. First of all, think about what the child will do. I present to your attention several recommendations on how to keep your child on the go.
Pencils, felt-tip pens, colored pens
These accessories will take the baby for a while, and if you still buy a new coloring with his favorite characters from the cartoon, then you will have peace for several hours.
Books
Books can be divided into two categories: educational and fairy tales. Tale books take those that your baby likes to listen to at home. After reading the tale, you can discuss and ask the kid which hero is good and which one is evil. Educational books nowadays are full of variety in stores. If your baby does not yet know the names of flowers, animals, birds, then buy books in this direction. When the baby is five or six years old, take a book that teaches children letters and teaches how to read. Of course, with such books the kid himself will not be interested, and here you will have to deal with the child. But judge correctly: at home, in worries and troubles, there is often no time to deal with a child, and here there is plenty of time, and the baby is not bored.
Ball
Take a small ball, it will come in handy. There are always other kids on the train who are also bored, get to know them and offer to play the ball. Thus, you will save other parents from the problem of how to keep the children on the train.
Plasticine
Kids are always interested in sculpting different figures from plasticine , and if you join this fascinating undertaking, it will be doubly interesting.
Constructor
If a child likes to construct various objects, take a constructor for him. Better if it will be new.
Air balloons
When thinking about how to keep children on the train, think of balloons. All children love to play them. Get balls of different shapes and colors. They can simply be played, tossing each other, or you can draw various muzzles on the balls with felt-tip pens.
Bubble
They will amuse not only your child, but also all the children in the carriage.
Player
A tablet or player with a recording of his favorite cartoons will come in handy at a time when you can not take the time for the baby.
Puzzles
Basically, when it comes to how to keep a child on the train, puzzles can be a way out. They are compact and light in weight, which is valuable when collecting bags on the road.
Wheelchairs for children
Your baby from one to five years old? Be sure to bring a toy - a gurney with you. Better if it is musical. Do not worry about your neighbors, let the child play with musical toys rather than rage and cry, thereby further annoying fellow travelers.
Tip
When collecting bags, it is better to put the toys in a separate bag or bag, as they will be needed even before you board the train. If the bag is not heavy, instruct the baby to carry it.
Children are tricky creatures
Children very quickly understand the boundaries of what is permitted. When you are among strangers, it is difficult to explain anything to the child or punish him for a bad offense. They become unmanageable. Therefore, consider how and what to occupy children on the train so that the trip does not turn into a long and painful nightmare.
