This post brought to you by DeMet’s FLIPZ®. The content and opinions expressed below are that of My Thoughts, Ideas, and Ramblings.
As many of my readers know, we travel a lot. We spend a lot of time in Green Bay visiting my family (4 hour drive), camping (we drive anywhere from one to five hours), and family vacations (we have driven to Myrtle Beach and New York). Needless to say, my kids are use to being stuck in the car. That is part of the reason why when we bought our new van we made sure it had a charging dock for their electronics and a DVD player. For me, I got satellite radio, and we can all listen to different things at the same time. Everybody is happy. That being said, sometimes we all need a little more to keep up entertained and that is where FLIPZ® Milk Chocolate Covered Pretzels andFLIPZ® Birthday Cake Covered Pretzels help! The first thing I do for a road trip is pack snacks they all love. I love FLIPZ®, because they come in a pouch that closes so no mess in the car! They also have so many flavors to pick from that there is something for everyone. We always pack snacks that kids can create themselves! The kids created their own Roadtrip Party Mix for our last road trip. All you do is set out some of their favorite snacks (this was cheese puffs, Tortilla chips, pretzels and FLIPZ®), and give them a Ball mason jar (aff) to fill with whatever they want. Best of all, there is no fighting, since everybody has exactly what they want! One of the fun silly things we did was create FLIPZ® necklaces. They are so easy to make too! Just buy crafting twine and string the FLIPZ® onto it. Tie it around their neck and they can eat one whenever they are hungry. (I won't tell you how many Will ate while I was trying to take this picture!) Needless to say, these FLIPZ® necklaces went over really well with the kids. (If you notice, I was able to get orange twine for Will – his favorite color.) We lastly created clipboard tic tac toe boards. The kids loved this! I just bought some colored tape, clipboards, and FLIPZ®. Each kid got to design their own board (they decided to put their names on them, so they wouldn't forgot whose was whose. I thought the different color tape would solve that, but you know kids!) Now, once you have designed your board, each player takes a FLIPZ® flavor and starts to play. Whoever gets tic tac toe first gets to eat all the pieces on the board! Needless to say, this has turned into high stakes FLIPZ® Tic Tac Toe! The other reason I love using a clipboard is that you can clip your FLIPZ® to the board. You will never be without your playing pieces and you will always know where your snack is!
Now, I know you all have road trips planned for the summer. That is why I have to tell you about the amazing contest that FLIPZ® is sponsoring! You just upload photos from your own road trips to Instagram using #ROADTRIPFLIPZ. You will be entered to win a road trip themed prize bundle from FLIPZ®.
