Road trip activities for 4 year olds

A road trip with a 4 year old has its own rules — different energy, different space, different patience levels. Four year olds can follow a two or three step instruction and will happily spend twenty minutes on something they chose.

These activities were picked specifically for that situation, with realistic durations and a clear note on whether you need to take part.
