This fun travel binder printable activity lets kids play games, create puzzles, color, and more–all while you focus on the road. 

Below, you’ll find instructions on how to create your own travel binder, as well as free printable activities from The Zebra organized by age.

Activities for kids

Use these free travel binder printables to build out your child’s activity. We’ve organized the printables by the suggested age group below. 

Preschool-age

Your preschoolers can practice their motor skills and counting and matching skills from the backseat of your car. Simply cut out these puzzle pieces and allow them to arrange them during the drive. 

Grades K–2

[[{"fid":"11414","view_mode":"full","fields":{"format":"full","alignment":"","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":"Grades K–2","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":"Grades K–2","external_url":""},"link_text":null,"type":"media","field_deltas":{"2":{"format":"full","alignment":"","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":"Grades K–2","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":"Grades K–2","external_url":""}},"attributes":{"alt":"Grades K–2","title":"Grades K–2","height":499,"width":750,"class":"media-element file-full","data-delta":"2"}}]]

A car scavenger hunt is a perfect way to pass the time during a long drive. Have your kids look out for interesting vehicles, landmarks, and more, and check items off their list as they go.  

Grades 3–5

[[{"fid":"11415","view_mode":"full","fields":{"format":"full","alignment":"","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":"Grades 3–5","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":"Grades 3–5","external_url":""},"link_text":null,"type":"media","field_deltas":{"3":{"format":"full","alignment":"","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":"Grades 3–5","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":"Grades 3–5","external_url":""}},"attributes":{"alt":"Grades 3–5","title":"Grades 3–5","height":499,"width":750,"class":"media-element file-full","data-delta":"3"}}]]

Once your child is reading and writing, they can fill out this travel journal printable that lets them memorialize the trip. They’ll jot down details such as their favorite moment, where they traveled to, and where they hope to go next. 

Encouraging play is a great way to combine learning with fun. Activities will keep your child’s brain turning while you focus on getting them safely to their destination. Check out this list of home activities for family fun for crafts you and your kids can do outside of the car.
