My car kit includes a squeeze ball, bubbles, play-dough, window markers (they can write on the windows, and love this, super cheap, or you can use dry erase markers), windmills, and bubble wrap (most of the kids I work with love this more than the stuff I spend money on). I also have a couple of games I found that work while you are driving- "Mad Gab", "Table Topics," "I've Never," "Would You Rather," and a deck I found at a book store- "52 things to do in the car." I also have Stories with Holes, a book that gives you the end of the story, and requires you to brainstorm and problem-solve to figure out the rest (appropriate for older kids or teenagers).
Once you make your kit, you will come up with ideas to change it up, or meet certain needs. Here are a few more suggestions:
Paper to rip
Mini journals
Stress ball
Kaleidoscope
Stuffed animals
Puppets
I Spy or Where's Waldo books
Jacob's ladder
Happy Driving!
super cool ideas!
