We go on a lot of road trips. Long road trips. So, I'm always looking for fun knew ideas to keep the kids occupied in the car...besides movies. Movies while traveling are a lifesaver, but I do like them to do things that work their imaginations. I found this idea on pinterest.

When we travel we like to get the kids a new mini lego set. The problem is, peices frequently fall on the floor or under carseats, which ends in either me having to find it or deal with a crying kid. So, this was a pretty brilliant idea. Normally I do legos for Lou as well. But lately she has been really into Polly Pockets. So, I decided to look for a little travel dollhouse. I found a couple on the internet, but they were WAY more than I wanted to pay. I ended up finding really cheap lunch boxes and thought, why not make my own travel dollhouse, and since I'm using lunch boxes for the boys, why not use one for Lou. So, I googled free furniture clip art, and kitchen clip art and printed it out. I also found website that has really cute free printable dollhouse wallpaper. I printed it up, glued it in with glue dots and voila! Travel doll house. :) Easiest project I've ever done.
