We will be traveling a lot this summer. What are the best ways to keep my three children from going crazy?

best kids toys age 11 image

sillysally

I have two boys ages 11 and 8 and a girl 4. Any really neat little toys or activites that you have had success with? Also how can I cut down on the fighting? They get bored and start picking on each other.

Answer
Portable electronics are one way. DVD players and game systems. If these are out of your budget, you can try the basics. Coloring books and crayons, travel board games (most are magnetic), or even play karaoke in the car (if your eardrums can handle it)

You can also check the MomsMinivan site. They have a lot of travel activity suggestions. And good travel tips as well. You can find things for kids of all ages, too.

Hope this helps. Good luck and have fun this summer.

Are 11-12 year olds considered to still play with toys and be like a little kid?

Q. So my cousin is 11 1/2 and is in sixth grade is she supposed to still play with barbies and stuff becuz i hear people on here saying that they still play with toys and stuff but she is like in Junior High School!Are toys really necassary?I mean if your kid still does by the age 11.....then i dont know whats going on in skool that include bullies!I just want your opinion and i am 16!

Answer
I'm 15 and still like to play with toys once in awhile.
I guess it just depends on who you are. She'll tone down the doll playing soon. Bullies may be a problem, but that's when you come in & give her advice.
I love (some) stuffed animals, too. =]
