{McMini Life}: Road Trip!

I disappeared from the blogging world due to all the summer fun we've been packing into the last 12 weeks.  I cannot believe that summer is officially coming to an end, and next week, McONE and McTWO start school!  I'm working on all kinds of fun after school activities for the McMinis that I can't wait to share!  Until then, check out one of my favorite road trip projects from this summer:

"I Spy..." Scavenger Hunt

We spent several hours in the car traveling across several states.  In preparation for the long car trips, I packed activities for McONE and McTWO to make the long trip more manageable.  My favorite activity came from PreparedNotScared.Blogspot.com.  She created the CUTEST activities for car trips. While the McMinis aren't old enough for all of her wonderful ideas, I did fall in LOVE with this one.

I made 2 sets of the "I Spy..." scavenger hunt; one for McONE and one for McTWO.  They spent hours "spying" the items on the sheet and cheered every time they found one and covered it with the "Tic Tac Tokens".  

Here's how I adapted her free "I Spy... Bingo" PDF into a magnetic game for McONE and McTWO.  

1) Print the free "I Spy... Bingo" PDF

2) Laminate

3) Attach to a cookie sheet (I found this one at the Dollar store) with hot glue or double sided tape

4) Download "Tic Tac Tokens"

5) Insert as a picture into your favorite word processor & resize to 1" tall

6) Copy and paste the image until you have at least 25 tokens (I printed 30 in case we lost some!)

7) Laminate "Tic Tac Tokens"

8) Cut & attach to magnets (I bought business card sheet magnets & cut to size)

9) ENJOY!
