Hello hello! It's challenge #2 REVEAL day! Two weeks ago I challenged all of you to craft up something for the car. Whether you are on the go, road trippin' it, have a kids to entertain or simply running errands around town. What could you create to make it easier, better, more organized, comfortable, etc.
My head was swimming with ideas but I only need to share one so HOPEFULLY everyone else got up and moving and will share some great inspiration with you too!
Add your link to the Mr. Linky box belowm, then please leave a comment and have fun blog hopping!
I SPY book tutorial.......(great for car trips, trips around town, waiting at the dr. office, etc)
1. Take photos of "piles" or groups of items. Ideas include childrens toys, junk drawer, pantry, bathroom drawer, what's in their back pack, books, toy box, closet, etc....The possibilities are endless!
2. Print them out or send them to the 1 hour photo.
3. Buy an inexpensive little photo album/flip book.
4. Type up some "I SPY" riddles or counting challenges, etc. Think of the different ways they phrase the rhymes and wording of those "I SPY" books. Use counting, colors, objects, finding words, and on and on. Choose the skill level that is best for your kids.
5. Slide the photos and coordinating "riddles" into the book and VIOLA! you have your own personalized "I SPY" book!
The great thing about these are the pictures or "riddle" cards can be changed out at any time! They are also small enough to easily slide into your purse, their back pack or even better? make them their own t-shirt pack!
I have 12 different photos in my I SPY book. Here are some of our I SPY pages and some of the "riddles" I typed up to go along with them. Enjoy!

awesome book!
I made a few things for a roadtrip in January, just wanted to share them with you and your readers. I left a link. I know my mom used to work hard to keep us occupied in the car when we were kids, we played all kinds of games like car bingo, I Spy, I'm Thinking of a Word That Rhymes With..... , etc.
Love your I spy book.
I created a link to a carseat organizer I made for our upcoming road trip.

I came up with three things because they each were so simple that one didn't seem like "enough".
