You and your preschooler will be in situations that will require your undivided attention, and where your preschooler will have to stay engaged in some other activity (and hopefully out of trouble)!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Preschoolers already get a lot of screen time; so it may be neat to consider some alternative options to occupy your child\u2019s time while you are on the go. Whether you must take your preschooler to one of your appointments, or if you both will have to be in the vehicle for a long stretch of time, here are some ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Proactively have a \u201cReady To-Go Pack\u201d put together, well before you ever have to take your preschooler on the go! This way, you can grab it at the last minute if necessary. You can fill this bag with activity sheets, sticker scenes (some are even reusable), markers, or a new notebook. The options are endless. You can fill the bag with whatever things that <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">your<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> preschooler would enjoy.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Keep the \u201cReady To-Go Pack\u201d fresh! Only let your preschooler play with the items in this bag when you are truly on the go. Hopefully, this will allow your child to play with the activity for a longer period of time since it is truly fresh for them.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you know in advance that your preschooler must join you at your appointment, you can put together a magnetic activity box. You can use a metal lunch box, for example, and fill it with magnetic alphabet letters and\/or a variety of miscellaneous magnets. The magnets will be easily transportable in this special container.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These are just some ideas to help your preschooler stay engaged while on the go! They can use their imaginations while staying occupied. As a result, your outing should go smoother for both of you. This is a win-win for all involved!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you enjoyed this blog, please take a look at our school\u2019s<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/kidsrkids.com\/hamilton-mill\/blog\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">blog page<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.
