Kids Can Twist, Sketch and Explore With Gifts from Rand McNally
Gift Recommendations Bolster Creativity on the Road

To avoid a chorus of "Are we there yet?" on the drive to grandma's house this holiday season, Rand McNally, a top provider of travel and premium holiday gifts, has compiled a list of enriching, travel-oriented gifts that will inspire a child's creativity on the road.

"This holiday season, we selected items that will help kids learn about their world or simply stay busy in the backseat. Many of the toys pack up to go and fit on a child's lap," says Vicki Donnowitz, senior vice president of consumer travel products for Rand McNally. "We've expanded our selection of kids' items at Rand McNally stores and added more toys that are brand new to the marketplace."

Rand McNally's top picks for Holiday 2002 include:

Twist-Up Crayons - End the frustration of itty-bitty pieces of broken crayons. Kids twist the bottom cap to advance the crayon tip in the plastic tube, and there's no mess to clean up. Ages 3 and up.
