Playing "I Spy" in the car can be a bit difficult with moving objects zooming by. You can still play the game by creating your own "I Spy With My Little Eye" game in a jar!
When in the car, ask "I spy with my little eye a red lego", then pass the jar to the seeker. Either make all the children a jar to seek, or use a sand timer to clock individually (a buzzer might distract the driver!).
Ask more complex seeks for older children or keep it simple for younger ones!
How To Make It
- Fill a cleaned-out plastic mayonnaise jar (or other plastic container with screw lid) with random objects. I searched my junk drawer and found a variety of interesting things!
- Fill the jar with white rice, but don't fill it all the way to the top. Leave an inch or two of air so the rice has some space to move around when the jar is shaken.
- Secure the top with Crazy Glue.

little legos
