Travel Binders

My kids have probably a hundred coloring books.  So, when we travel we have a hard time deciding which coloring book to take.  I came up with a pretty good idea the other day when the kids wanted about 5 different coloring books to take.  I ripped out several pages from each coloring book.  Each child got a little bit of every one of them. 







I hole punched all of them and put them in their very own binders.  The 'Travel Binders' made them both very happy.  I also, added some construction paper in the middle incase they wanted to just draw.  My mom also, gave us some pencil carrying cases that attach right into the binder, making this idea a complete success!!!  Now, I do not let the kids play with their 'Travel Binders' unless we are TRAVELING.



It stops it from being special during the road trip.  We live on one side of the state while our family lives on the other side of the state.  So, if we want to see family we have to drive, usually a couple of hours at least.  My two-year-old loved the binder, he loved it so much he didn't even want to color in it and fell asleep holding it in the car.
