Creative Ideas to Keep 2 and 5 Year Olds Busy on a Long Car Trip???

We will be taking a fairly long car trip this summer, and I was wondering if anyone had any creative ideas to keep a 2 year old and 5 year old (both girls) entertained in the car. We of course have the standards: DVDs, books, coloring, music, etc. but does anyone have a favorite toy, game, or activity that entertains their child for hours on end? I'm not worried about my 5 year old, but my 2 year old just does not like to sit still! Thanks in advance to all you creative mamas out there!

5 Year Old Needs Glasses!
