 With all of the busy changes our family have gone through this past couple of months already such as finding out we were pregnant , moving home and also buying our family a new mini bus capable of fitting our ever extending family in to , there is also another big issue we will be tackling in no time at all and that is travelling , days out and maybe if we are lucky a small UK break . We always tend to go a good few hundred miles away from home so it feels a little more of a true day out , in my eyes the further away we are , the more it feels like a holiday , I am sure you will agree. The only downside to travelling more than an hour or so away is that when there is a mini bus filled with 7 children it can become a parents worst nightmare having them all sat bored, fighting, screaming, and just making a racket because they simply have nothing to do and are sick of of sitting in the same place for such a long length of time . As I have been searching for new ideas for them to keep them busy , I.CarHireInsurance.com got in touch to ask if I would give their new travel pack a try and of course I was more than happy to . We received a Folder only a couple of days later which had a lovely set of contents inside including-
   The activities were aimed at ages 5 years plus and kept them busy for around 2 hours which is a great time for us as the usual travel distance for our days out in summer are about 2 and a half hours . The children seemed very excited and icarhireinsurance.com seemed to know how to make them think long and carefully about their activities to keep them busier for longer as the work sheets were all about looking and finding for things they can see on their travels.  icarhireinsurance.com are a new online insurance service that individuals and companies that hire vehicles in the UK or abroad cannot afford to be without. The company gives customers peace of mind and can save them money by protecting customers from these excess insurance payments. It does cover parts like windows, tyres and the roof, and is at a very affordable price from £2.99 a day and £39.99 a year.  You can find these worksheets over at Icarhireinsurance.com .

Melt-downs in the car are always best avoided! We often play car bingo on our trips, but now she's older she'd prefer to have her head buried in the iPad!

What a very useful pack and the insurance sounds like a very good idea. 20/4/2015 02:36:16 pm
What a great idea to keep everyone occupied - 2 hours is some feat too! We have a 4YO who has just started asking 'are we nearly there yet'. Luckily we're still distracting her with nearby wildlife :) 22/4/2015 04:02:41 pm
