Describe this trip activity or tip:
When taking a trip that is several days long, it helps to have different toys to pull out each day. Use the slide-closure zip bags (easier for little ones to open and close) to separate three to five toys or books per bag. Label the bags with the contents to make accountability easier. Switch the toy bags each day, leaving the others in the trunk or packed away. This system is especially good for sets of figures, or coloring books and crayons/markers, etc.

Other comments or suggestions to consider:
Surprise toys are always great--hide 'em in the closet until the trip!!
