Any suggestions on things to take on a plane to keep the kids happy?
Most airlines will have kids’ activity packs available for you to purchase, and this can be a nice treat for the children, but you will usually have to pay a fee. For a little spend and a little effort, you can still give your kids a whole lot of fun. Try packing some of the following: • Colouring/activity book • Stickers • Crayons or washable textas • A few favourite story books • A favourite small soft toy • An Etcha-sketch type toy • Finger puppets • Balloons – keep these in your hand luggage – fantastic to play with when in transit lounges. • Make use of the headsets. If you child isn’t comfortable with them on their ears, try them with the headset around the neck, with the volume turned up a little (not so loud that it annoys other passengers though). A great idea is to put all the toys in a separate bag – perhaps the child’s own backpack as a bit of fun – and bring things out only one at a time. You could also try wrapping each activity up individually and playing a guessing game
