Summer is that time of the year when we pack up our kids and take off to the cottage, off on a well-deserved vacation at home or abroad, or simply take a day trip around your city. Our kids are buckled in for their safety (and it is the law by the way) and they get bored very easily sitting still in one place inside the car, plane or whatever mode of transportation you are using. Here are some apps that just might make your trip a bit more pleasant by keeping your kids entertained as you zoom around the countryside. If you do not have a iPad or iPhone another thing is to pack a backpack full of their favourite books to browse through and savour. Books are portable, engaging, educational, and always in fashion.
Unwrapping some travel humour...
"App"arently these apps are amazing...
