Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.
Stay with the child throughout. Check the space and supplies, including anything within reach of younger siblings. Skip any activity that is unsuitable. Stop if a child puts non-food material in their mouth or becomes distressed. Use intact books, full sheets of paper, a large child-appropriate crayon and a clean, dry towel. Follow product labels; remove torn paper and keep broken crayons and caps away from children. Adult handles and stores supplies.
Set up: Before moving, an adult makes sure everyone is properly buckled in the appropriate seat.
Adult's role: A passenger can offer clues and listen. The driver focuses on driving and need not join the game.
Let's make it happen
- Choose a color such as red or green.
- From your seat, look through the window for something in that color. Say what you see without reaching for it.
- Choose another color or a shape and look again. Stop playing whenever you like.
Make it simpler: Choose one color and look for it together when safely stopped.
Clean up: None.
Stay properly buckled throughout the journey. Keep hands and objects inside the vehicle and do not distract the driver.
