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!

He is getting a strong eyeglass prescription. Is anyone familiar with this? And anyone have advice how to get him to LIKE glasses? He is so resistant to the idea of the everyday glasses- even the cool glasses he will get for sports. We try to tell him they are COOL- but...
