FUN TOGETHER-TIME ACTIVITIES

Go on an adventure by car. It's the perfect family holiday. Pack the car, pull out a map, hit the open road and plan to enjoy all our countryside has to offer between your home and your destination. The car is well stocked with pillows, blankets, extra nappies and toys. You've brought every book and tape you own - at least enough to get you through the first chorus of, 'Are we there yet?' Just one small problem remains - how do you ensure that your children eat healthy meals while travelling? Experts offer this advice:

  • Pack familiar foods that are easy to store and eat. For example: bananas, yoghurt and individual boxes of cereal.

  • Be sure to pack perishable foods in a cooler and baby's milk in a well-insulated thermos. Restock ice at every petrol station and rest stop.

  • Stop often at picnic tables or suitable rest areas. Everyone will enjoy getting out of the car for something to eat and a stretch. Be sure to pack enough food for yourselves, as well as your child.

  • Do not allow eating in the car. You may not be able to reach a child should he start to choke. (Drinks are fine. Just be sure to use spill-proof cups to limit the amount of clearing-up.)

  • Most importantly, enjoy your time away from home. Eat healthy foods and remember to take lots of pictures for your scrapbook.

    Make a family time capsule. Your child is growing so quickly. You are amazed at her every move, her adorable smiles and her ever-growing personality. Why not capture these moments so she can enjoy her childhood long into adulthood? Creating a family time capsule is a wonderful way to protect those cherished memories and strengthen your family's bond. Just think of the fun you'll have collecting and preparing photographs, drawings, school papers and other family memorabilia.
