Hello! Not sure if this is the right place to post this but thought I'd ask anyway!
My DP, DS (5 almost 6) and I are travelling by car from Wales to mid France by car. We are crossing by eurotunnel.
We have done this journey in previous years but most of it has been done at night and so DS was asleep. This time it will be during the day and DS will undoubtedly be awake all the way!
DS is midly ASD in most aspects. He can't read much though and his obsession enthusiasm is cars/trains/lorries - anything with wheels basically. He does have an ipod which we can download some of his favourite programmes on to which will help for a while. I have bought him a summer pack of cbeebies magazine and a magnetic snakes and ladders (not that he knows how to play it properly but he likes moving the peices around and throwing the dice - although I can see that will cause problems in the back of a car!!!)
Anyone have any other ideas of what could possibly pass the time?
TIA!
