new for us friday: the trip clip (& giveaway!)

This New For Us Friday I’m excited to share a super-cool product that our family has become really attached to–especially on our 3 1/2 hour drive to and from Pennsylvania to visit my parents: The Trip Clip.

The Trip Clip has literally given me a smoother ride, a (for the most part!) stress-free, kid-argument-free (seriously!), and altogether more exciting journey for the kids.

And our friends at The Trip Clip have offered to give one teach mama reader his or her very own Trip Clip to try out for free! Woo-hoo!

Here’s why I totally heart The Trip Clip:

  • The Trip Clip: The Trip Clip is ‘unplugged’ entertainment for kids. Essentially, it’s a just-their-size clipboard with just-for-you activities clipped on.

We have used our Trip Clips primarily for our long car rides–which we probably have more frequently than other families–but the Trip Clip can be used at home, for everyday activities, too.

Once you log into your Trip Clip account, you get five activities to download and print out. The activities range from lists (think: grocery, to-do, and beyond) to games (alphabet search, dots, sudoku (for kids), bingo, and more!), and puzzles (crosswords, mazes, word searches, etc) to creative (story boards, coloring pages, and license plate design).ย  Access to more activities can be purchased as you go .

 

Cora, Maddy, and Owen’s Trip Clips–packed and ready to go!

 

Each activity can be saved and customized for each child–and printed and printed and printed to your heart’s content.

We first used our Trip Clips back in the fall, and in our most recent trip to the Keystone State, the number of activities available practically tripled–seriously!!ย  This time, Maddy, Owen, and Cora were literally bouncing off the wall waiting for their turn to choose their printables.

Like always, their ‘car trip backpacks’ were packed days before we left, but this time, their Trip Clips were right on top, packed with activities and were pulled out as we backed out of the driveway.ย  Cora and Owen kept sneaking their Trip Clips out of their packs to color before we left.

 

Cora used her Trip Clip for a long, long, long. . .

 

Please, my friends, let’s wait until we get on the road to use them, or you won’t have anything to do in the car. I pleaded. Because for me, when I’m driving the kids solo, it’s important that they’re busy, engaged, and occupied.ย  Otherwise, the long ride is more difficult for me.

I also have chosen to keep our Trip Clips ‘special’ for use in out-of-the-house activities. I throw them in my bag when I need to entertain two kids on the sidelines while one is playing soccer, I’ll print out a grocery list while I’m grocery shopping so that whoever is with me can shop along, or I’ll bring them along when I have a short meeting and the kids have to sit quietly for 10 minutes or so.

I totally and completely love them.

 

. . . long, long, long time and colored so many sheets!

 

Here’s what we love about The Trip Clip:

  • the ease with which we can print activities–our favorites are saved, so printing is super-fast;
  • the variety of activities–there’s something for everyone–and then some!;
  • the quick, customizable process–with a few clicks, a to-do list is made, grocery list done, or bingo board printed;
  • the affordability–each Trip Clip costs $19.95 and the activities are 5 for $4.95–totally d0able for most families;
  • the size–6×9 is perfect for little bodies and small hands;
  • the pen!–oh, the pen!–four click-back colors, wide-grip, attached to the board (need I say more?);
  • the quality–sturdy, strong, and dropped a dozen times–and it’s still ticking!;
  • the customer service–Molly (mom and inventor of The Trip Clip) is right there, answering emails and inquiries–love her!)

We wish:

  • that we came up with it first–because it’s just that awesome!!
  • that we had it years ago–but we have it now, so thank you, Trip Clip!!

 

GIVEAWAY: A Trip Clip of your very own!

Do you want to win your very own Trip Clip??

This contest ends on Friday, April 15, 2011 at midnight ET and is open to US residents only.

fyi: Many thanks to our friends at The Trip Clip for providing us with three Trip Clips for Maddy, Owen, and Cora to try.ย  This is an unsponsored post, and my opinions are all my own, influenced only by my three little travelers.ย  I chose to write about The Trip Clip and facilitate this giveaway because I liked the product that much.ย  The Trip Clip is providing one teach mama reader with a free product.

โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€“

New For Us Friday LINK-UP: Did you do something new this week? A new food? Watch a new show? Go somewhere different? Give a new product a try? Read a new book? Anything goes!

Link up all week long to a post where you or your family tries something new, out-of-the-ordinary, or exciting. Our goal for New For Us Fridays is to step out of our comfort zone a bit and to get our little ones into the habit of doing the same.ย ย  If we all share what weโ€™re doingโ€“even if itโ€™s not a successโ€“perhaps weโ€™ll get our kiddos comfy trying something new or stepping out of habit a bit.

    What a great idea! You’re right – wish I’d thought of this before. ๐Ÿ™‚ I can think of lots of ways we’d use our Trip Clip. First, on the four-hour-long drive to grandma’s but even better, on our summer vacation to Turkey. I’m sure the kids would love it on the long flight to Istanbul. My kids love word search and mazes. It would cool to create some using Turkish words and landmarks. I tweeted the contest info and liked teachmama and tripclip on FB.

    This looks pretty cool – very useful on our 6 hour drives to Cleveland (from Indy) to see family. My youngest is only 2, not sure how it would work for him, but I’ll give anything a try with him! Thanks for the link, and maybe I’ll get lucky and win! ๐Ÿ™‚

    These look great, Amy! We’ll be in Florida next month, and while we’re flying to our first destination, we then have to rent a van and drive the family to the second destination about 6 hours away. Oh boy. This would be a nice addition to our trip stuff! ๐Ÿ™‚

    I am a reader of your blog, formerly of Silver Spring, MD, currently of Ningbo China, soon to be of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Yes, we move around alot. And travel alot. Our 3 and 1/2 year old son is a great traveler and I am always looking for new activities to keep him engaged on the plane, the bus, and at noisy Chinese restaurants. This would be a great addition to our upcoming travels and cross-the-globe move!

    I would love to be entered to win a tripclip. I have family in Florida and with a 3 year old and 8 month old, entertaining for that LONG trip is essential. We usually take the drive (15 hours) at least 2ce a year. While the 8 month old won’t be able to enjoy this (yet!) I think my 3 year old son would love it. He would also be able to use it for grocery shopping trips and i think it would help him behave while we are out eating at restaurants. I also “liked” your FB page and ClipTrip’s FB page.

    Such a cool idea, wish I had thought of it. I love the unplugged activities to take along to keep the kids occupied and thinking. I love that it is just their size. We would definitely use it on long car trips and I know my youngest would love it at the grocery store.

    We have 4 girls and are headed to TN soon and they would love this. It’s about a 14 road trip and this would certainly help entertain their little minds.

    we also do long drives about 1/2 hour to 1 hour weekly and would use it for my kids. they currently use homemade ones (cardboard and paper clip) and this would be great!
    thanks!

    How COOL! This would be a lifesaver this summer! I would definitely use this when we move across country this summer! My hubby will be driving the moving truck and I will be driving our van with 3 little kids who will want something to do…these would be great!!!

    We would use these clips for trips to grandma’s house! Grandma lives 3 hours away and we travel there every other month or so. Also on long drives to California to visit other family most summers!!

    Wow!! That is a pretty cool gadget. The ways I can think of that I’d use it are: during the 3-hour trip to and from my daughters kidney specialist, not to mention the long waits in his office, lab and imaging that we have to sit through. Every time we go, it’s a whole day experience.

    Also, we are self-employed and do local vendor shows; sometimes she has to come and this would be perfect for that!

    Thanks so much for sharing. I am liking both it and you on FB next!

    funny, i read this post while on spring break and thought “grr, if I only had these!…” what i like about it is that it can be ever changing. i often find my son “taking” to something because its new (and therefore cooler), so i think initially he’d be into it, but the trick would be how to keep it seeming “special” subsequently. limiting use to travels would be great. We do drive to a family vacation home (4 hrs.) and have a summer trip planned (5 hrs), but our most immediate need would be during our spring house hunt – we finally sold our very outgrown condo and need to start pounding the pavement to find a new home. we will have to drag the kids with us on our go-sees and this would be a great way to occupy him driving about and while going in and out of different homes

    I’d love to win a Trip Clip for my toddler. He is very active and I’m looking for anything at all to keep him occupied in the upcoming 24-hour trip to South East Asia to visit both sets of grandparents. We’ll also be flying between 3 countries there (and I’m coming back to the US alone with him) so a Trip Clip will be a wonderful addition to add to our entertainment arsenal for the journey(s)!

    We make an 8 hour drive from Charlotte to Maryland several times each year. More activities for the car like these would be great!

Hello, Teacher Wish List.

You are welcome here. In fact, we are incredibly glad that youโ€™ve made your way into our culture.

Youโ€™re like the Wedding Registry or Baby Registryโ€“but better. 

You are a dream because you are the list that gives and gives and gives. Youโ€™re not full of weird kitchen appliances or ugly China patterns or tiny baby Air Jordans. You are made of books, pens, pencils, journals, math manipulatives, bulletin board letters, lab goggles, staplers, and hole punchers.

You are helping to equip and educate the youth of the world and are taking a tiny bit of stress off of the shoulders of our educators. And we all know that our educatorsโ€“especially in the last few yearsโ€“have been stretched to the absolute max. They are tired, worn down, and stepped on. Theyโ€™re pushed and pulled every which way and are expected to do the job of 27 different people.

What an amazing thing you are, you little Classroom Wish List! Just a simple Amazon Wish List, you let us all feel like we are helping in a teeny way, and we thank you.

We hope you never, ever leave and that youโ€™re here to stay.

Sincerely,

Everyone
