“I got one for L, I went to the shop and I got a Lamborghini” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 the way he leans into the camera. Ahh that cracked me up 😂😂
Such a character! X
For car sickness my tip is to use a doggy bag inside empty drink cup like a tiny trash can. Leak proof and the child can hold it easily.
Edit: The free printable scavenger hunt, bingo etc. and how to draw videos in a restaurant are absolutely genius tips 🧠
I wish I’d known about that the other week lol handy tip!
My kids loved your son explaining his game 😂
Adorable
These are great tips! We're going to have an 8hr drive with our kids next summer and I'm already dreading the whining and bickering! I love the idea of headphones and kids podcasts and audio books!
The back seat storage is great! We use ours all the time. We also use Kwells kids for travel sickness (both ours need them) and also a travel potty for emergencies (traffic jams!)
We are flying but from an airport 3hours away ( it was a lot cheaper an wasnt affordable otherwise) so ive been watching all your flying with kids videos and this is also useful! Thanks!
I’m sure you did a hack once of a cereal decanting container as a bin for the car, and I still do this! It’s absolute genius! Love all your videos! 🩷
Ah amazing!!! Thats a good one too!! xx
@@mrsemilynorris well I got it from the best 😆
Great tips! Thanks ❤
Great tips.
I suffer from travel sickness on long bus & coach journeys, in fact I can’t travel on coaches anymore because of this. The nausea is awful.
Hi Emily, wonderful video .....the boys are all growing up so much now, I remember playing the car games with my sons such fun treasured memories.....Jackson is so cute with his Lamborghini comment ! 🇨🇦
We do a car game for the first one to say cheese on wheels for the first bright yellow car we see 😂
😂😂😂
I was always the child who was travel sick and once I was sick I'd set my brother off being sick. My parents tried everything but the only thing that worked was traveling in the middle of the night so I'd sleep through most of the journey.
Try a game of reading number plates but use the phonetic alphabet ( a alpha, b bravo, c Charlie etc) xxxxxxxx
Jackson is so funny!!
We love going to Cornwall ( also from Essex) but the drive is sooooo hard. The drawing cases from Ikea are a must. My 6 year old and 3 year old love them. I also collect little treats from Poundland in a bag and let them have a lucky dip in the bag, anything they’ve not seen before is a win win on a journey. X
Haha yes defo! X
Hi Emily!! We are about to move from Kent to Suffolk and I really needed this video!!😊. Thank you. 💚
It is a similar long drive for us but so worth it!
Great ideas!! The lambo line!! Very sweet 😂
He’s a character isn’t he! X
We play a game in the car also. If you see motorcycles we yell Bingo!! My cousin in North Carolina taught my kids last month when we were down there. We are from NY and we drove down there.
when my son is older I want us to do car games. trash bin in the car is really a must. that cup holder trick was awesome!
You have lots to look forward to!! Thanks for watching xx
Watching this as im 2 hrs into a 4hour car journey wish i saw this yesturday before i left xx
Jackson made me LOL with the Lambo comment! What a doll!! I used to have a cream colored mini!! 😊
We play a “Bluey” cartoons inspired game. We have to find cars in rainbow colours. It can be played randomly or in rainbow specific colour order.
The printed road signs is an amazing idea!❤
Love this!!!! Thanks for watching xx
What’s helping with travelsickness are horizon glasses
My youngest gets car sick as well - I bought a set of acupressure wrist bands from the chemist & they work a treat!
Aw we had those but they didn’t work for Fraser 😢
@@mrsemilynorris what a shame!
On longer journeys in our car we play word games too. One is where we pick one letter, and then we take turns to say a word beginning from that specific letter. You can decide on what sort of words everyone is allowed to say, for example, only nouns, no proper names like city and country names etc. The longer you play, the harder it gets - and that's where it gets really fun and competitive! Another game we play is "Associations". Someone says the first word (any word that pops into their mind), and then the next person says the word that first came to their mind after hearing the first word. Then the third person says a word that they first thought of when they heard the second person's word. And so on... For some reason our kids love it a lot! Oh, and another game - which develops creativity a lot! - is where you choose an everyday thing and take it in turns to suggest ways to use it. We usually start off by naming obvious uses and then come up with very unexpected, rare or creative ideas. And audio books! We love listening to a fun adventure audiobook on car loudspeaker. Among our favourites by far are stories about Huckelberry Finn, Tom Sawyer, "Seacrow Island" by A. Lindgren or something by Jules Vernes. Kids just love hearing them over and over again. Or if we, the parents, want to listen to something else on the radio (or just get some peace and quiet...) , our kids listen to the audiobooks through their earphones. Love watching your videos, Emily! Summery greeting from Lithuania.
Love these ideas 🇱🇹 xx
My travel sickness tip if it happens a lot and your child is young or struggles to grab a bag in time is to take the stress out by getting an activity bib that you would use for painting and have your child wear it over the seat belts....then there is very limited clear up!🎉😂
I never knew ear pods could help. Will have to try this. Thank you. 😊x
Yes they really seem to help my eldest 😍 xx
V helpful..xx
Hi Emily hope your well, brilliant video as alwaya i love your hack videos. my twin brother and I play the shopping list game all the time, he loves it keep up the amazing work also i love your outfit. ❤
When I was a kid we used to play that mini game but with just yellow cars in general :)
I have exactly the same bin as you in the car. Funny how you got it for your kids and I got it for my husband 😂😂
Haha!! xx
Jackson with his Lamborghini comment🤣🤣
So funny 😂😂😂
He's very cheeky! Thanks for watching xx
My mum/we had a little turquoise mini in the 60s & a butterscotch coloured one in the 70s, my father had a sick-inducing dark green Jaguar ;)
We have 2 car games we like to play. We play car bingo where everyone picks a colour and whoever sees 10 of their colour first driving in the opposite direction wins. We also like car snooker. Basically you have to find cars the same colour as the snooker balls. Our family likes to start as soon as we see a pink car
Ha brilliant Jasmin!! Thanks for watching xx
That portable urinal is my best buy
We love it too Sarah xx
Please can you link the snack box shown in your video, or similar? Thank you! Excellent and useful video ❤
For us spotify does miracles. We travel 10h en longer en for sure 2h we spend listening stories and songs.
Love the wood in the front of your car and the huge sunroof. We’re car shopping! What model do I drive? Jackson and the lambo comment 😂❤
We did a 24hrs trip to Croatia and then 15hrs from Croatia to Poland, then in 5 days again 22hrs from Poland to UK, all with 4 year old... I don't know how we survived all this and still one long journey ahead... 🤭
With the medicine- you could take a picture of the leaflet or the dosage part of the box so you have it with you! (I used to work in a pharmacy, it makes me uneasy seeing pills decanted away from their leaflets and boxes!)
We used to do a tally chart game so I’d draw a lorry , a coach, a car towing a caravan , and a Land Rover (coz it was my sons favourite car!) and when he saw one he put a tally next to the picture and we would see when we arrived what we saw the most of!
Aww love this so much Em! Thanks a lot 🙏🏻 and woww how’s Jacks all grown up?!? 🥹❤️
I know 😭 xx
We play a game similar to the shopping list game and we just call it the alphabet game. We choose different categories and take it in turns "a is for..." next person "b is for..." and the categories can be anhthing! We've done pokemon, cartoons, video game characters, even youtubers 😂 x
Love this xx
Please could I ask what colour your nails are, they’re beautiful x
When i was a youngun and my parents drove we used to play spot the colour cars. We all had a colour and the 1st one who spotted 10 of the colour they chose won 🏆 😉
Why didn’t you use the bigger car for more comfort?
Can I ask where did you get the green sweatshirt from?😊
It is adanola xx
💜🥰💜
What was your drink at 5:02 Emily? 😋
What car do you have❤
That’s a Mini. I’m sure that’s Matts car for school runs etc. I’m thought they had an Audi Q5 which is much bigger and probably more comfortable for the boys. Unless they got rid. 🤷🏽♀️
