Bus riding boredom for Pre-K?

Question

My son has a 50 min. ride to and from school. This is the only negative to him going (besides my attachment issues).

Does anyone have any ideas for activities a 4 year can do on a bus. He can't eat on the bus. I sent in a laminated car bingo card and a cranyon and an I spy picture book. That will get old soon. And he's learning how to draw on steamy windows, too...

But any ideas?

I don't want him getting too plugged into something that would keep him from talking to other kids on the bus. So electronics are out. I like the magnetic beard guy idea.

I also need something he can put away quickly.

Answer 1

etch a scetch

that magnetic bald guy with the shavings he can move around for hair mustouche and beard

puzzle books for children his age?

abc and 123 books that he can practice

books on choosing colors and items, you can see his progress when he gets home every day.

Answer 2

You probably don't want to send a toy to school, but I say get him an age appropriate activity book. With stickers and things (just make sure he doesn't stick anything to the bus)

Answer 3

Well my son is 2 and when we went away I saw a book that was go diego go but they have others that have the magnetc drawning board on it. So I got him that and he still loves it. It also has a handle so he can carry it. Go to toys r us and look in the book section they have alot with things attached to it.

Answer 4

Dry erase board with a marker(dry erase marker, obviously lol)

EXPO makes markers with the eraser on the end, so he won't ink up his hand or sleeve.

Answer 5

books he can look at while on the bus or magazines.

Answer 6

well when i was i pre-k i talked to my frindes but if i didn't have any on my bus i'd read or sleep.
