Storybox Playlist: Thanksgiving Travels

It’s estimated that 50 million people are planning to hit the road this Thanksgiving. If you’re one of them and you are traveling with small children — we see you, we feel you, we understand. We’ve created a Sparkle Stories Travel Playlist that will help keep your children quiet(ish) during the long car ride — you may want to bring some fun car snacks for back up, but we’ve got you covered there too!

This collection of stories is perfect for 3-6ers. You’ll find a little bit of Thanksgiving mixed with a lot of travel, family, and adventure in these tales, including two Martin & Sylvia multi-part selections. Safe travels on the road and remember to try and find a moment of delight in the peace and quiet in the car when you’re stuck in traffic. Happy Thanksgiving!
