Quiet, Frugal and No Mess

If you are trying to fit in a last road trip before school starts or need a creative way to keep children quiet and occupied while outside the home, chenille stems are perfect. They involve no mess, no noise and lots of imagination.

Fill a zippered gallon bag with chenille stems of various colors and sizes and watch what your children create. Young children can make simple shapes and practice forming the alphabet while older children or pre-teens can create 3-dimensional figures and words.

This is one of our favorite travel activities. What quiet activities do your children enjoy?
