7 Best Activity Books for Summer Road Trips- Our family typically does one flying trip every year or so but most of the trips we take are road trips. You might be familiar with my One Tank Trips series I’ve written about which these books are excellent for!
We’ve been happy with activity books during the summer months especially to keep her in a ‘school mood’ throughout the break. She is not able to read but these books are great for 4-6 year olds whether they’re reading or not.

Don’t Let the Pigeon Finish This Activity Book!
We Love Elephant and Piggy books around here so this was an obvious ‘must get’ for us. Mo Willems can create such emotion without even needing to read the words.
Wipe Clean: Early Learning Activity Book
This is a book we turn to often when we want to ‘play school’. Sophia went to school three days/week this past year and on her off days she was craving education. There are older levels of this book as well.
National Geographic Kids Super Space Sticker Activity Book: Over 1,000 Stickers!
This was a big hit with our whole family because we all love space. They also have cute animals, dinos, farm, safari and others in their series.
The Everything Kids’ Puzzle Book: Mazes, Word Games, Puzzles & More!
Our daughter loves to flip through and choose which activities interest her most throughout this book. She’s surprisingly good at mazes which I hope means she’ll be good at spacial reasoning and figuring out where she is if lost (unlike her Mom!)
Kids’ Travel Journal
This journal can be used differently depending on the age of the child. Sophia uses pictures to describe what happened during a trip and we write in the text of what she’s describing.
Hidden Pictures Discovery Activity Zone
Seek and find books have always been a big hit and a great way to spend some quite time. Sometimes we pop on a podcast or audio book during these non-thinking books.
Paint by Sticker
Our new favorite book! We have all of the series on her wishlist for birthdays and Christmas because she loves them! There is no reading involved during this book and it makes for a great long activity during road trips or flights.
Were there any activity books I missed that we’ve got to check out? We’re hoping to take baby on her first beach trip this winter so that will be a completely new experience for all of us!
