Are we there yet? Name a parent that has not heard that phrase on a road trip. Before you travel, we suggest you check out our Winning Car Hacks for Mom. We LOVE the sticky note idea for time going by. Additionally for long commutes with the kids, we wanted to share something new.

We shared with you our Airplane Bingo, but we also came up with another free printable – Road Trip Bingo! There are a few ways to play – honestly mom, customize it to your family, but here were my ideas.

Play the boards as a Tic-Tac Toe. First to spot 3 items in a row/diagonal, wins!
Play the boards as a Bingo (filling in all 9 boxes). First to spot all 9 objects, wins!
Play the boards with the provided printable markers to mark or cover your spot.
Play the boards laminated and use a dry erase marker to x (or o) what you find! This is the laminator we have (and love!) There are cheaper laminator options.

Ingredients:

1 box chocolate cake mix
1 Egg
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Preheat your oven to 350° and grease your silicone donut mold with a nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, mix together your cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water until combined.
Place a large freezer bag inside a mixing bowl, fold the edges over the bowl, and pour your cake batter into the freezer bag.
Cut a small tip off the corner of your freezer bag and use it to dispense the batter into your donut molds.
Bake for 15 minutes and let fully cool before you remove.
Place a half a cup of your green frosting into the bottom of a cereal bowl, heat in the microwave for 30 seconds, and mix.
Dunk the top of your doughnut into the green frosting and immediately coat with your green candy shreds.
