Flying with kids, can be a whole mixture of things. It is unpredictable, exciting, boring but also a great way to embrace time, if you choose that with the right things.
Here is what seemed to work well for my kids:
✈️ Mini Yoto cards
✈️ Search and find books
✈️ Crocodile Game - ( from Tiger)
✈️ An abundance of snacks (delays are inevitable)
✈️ Wipeable sketch pad
✈️ Felt tips and paper
With delays and queuing, travelling can be hard work with young children.
I tried to make sure there was enough variety of things packed in there. I did also wrap up and pack a story book each that they hadn't read for ages and had forgotten about. The element of surprise worked and no extra money spent. Nothing extra ordinary or even hack like about this post but the kids didn't have e a single meltdown or moan during this short haul flight. Long haul is a different ball game though, advice for this from me is limited with young kids....I'll get back to you on this one 😉
Although not my usual post, I thought I would share none the less.
Hopefully some of it is useful.
