How to Turn Your Kids Into Great Travelers: Car Critters

June 27, 2012 by admin

Meet our small menagerie of car critters.  They live in our car and serve as valuable friends for the final haul of a long trip, or to help sooth minor injuries.

  • Hammy:  Hammy has an important job- he holds all parking and toll receipts, so everyone in the car always knows where they are.  His station is just over the front passenger seat’s window to the delight of toll attendants.  He’s a hard worker, but when he’s off duty he can play with kiddoes.
  • Zebra:  Zebra sits over the driver’s side window. He comes out to play more often than Hammy because his job is to watch the car when no one’s in it.  So he’s always off duty while we’re driving!
  • Green Bean:  Green Bean is tough- Rahr!  He used to be the car guard but he comes inside more often now.  Green Bean turned his duties over to Zebra.  Green Bean has been with us on many, many adventures.  He’s a good friend and a mighty fine dancer.

 

These critters offer comfort on a long drive and distractions during traffic jams.  They can lift the spirit of anyone in the fam!  And since they are always in the car, a kiddo who needs a boost can ask to see them.  When we’re tired, we can all use the hug of a stuffed friend.  And no one can resist the dance of a tiger.

Since these critters mostly stay in the car,  they have an air of specialness that gives them enhanced powers of comfort and fun.  We encourage you to gather your own set of car-only toys to help the longer drives seem not so long.
