Coloring on the road is a great way to keep little ones occupied but sometimes one common problem can stand in the way of mom’s own peace and quiet. Rough and tumble highways and curvy roads can lead to single pages slipping to the floor. Conquer this mommy mishap by taking an old colored up notebook and taping each loose printed coloring page to create a coloring book. Not only do you save money on coloring books, you are also recycling in the process!

It’s a game without the grumpies and arts and crafts without the mess!
