One of the activities we did in the car was molding sheets of tinfoil. I honestly thought the kids would get tired of this one pretty fast - but it turned out to be one of the best-loved activities of the trip. D's favorite to make were swords and star-ships.
All of the kids enjoyed the wikki sticks that i had bought for them, but A was the most creative with them - she made pictures on the lid, twirled glasses, complete jewelry sets, and model animals of all shapes and sizes. My main issue with the Wikki sticks was that the kids fought over them - they all wanted MORE!
You've always got to get a good pic of the St. Louis Arch; the kids loved seeing it!
E and C slept a fair amount on the trip out - and they really enjoyed wearing their tye-dye shirts that they made at the library. Cousin L helped me out a lot on that activity; picture my 4 munchkins chomping at the bit, surrounded by oodles of permanent dye. I did pretty well in keeping the kids clean, but managed to dye my own hands quite purple.
