EVERYTHING I can possibly conceive of needing. A ridiculous amount really!!
Plasticine, on a 8 hour flight this year it kept my kids busy for a while. We made animals, cakes and vehicles! Plasticine blobs can be used as counters for board games and as card game prizes too!
Babywipes, juice carton, crayons and paper.
food, my son can’t go for more than 5 mins without eating something
A bucket in case they are sick in the car!
A lot of patience!
coloring pens and paper if there are delays we just while away the hrs playing naughts and crosses ,hang man, we make tick lists of things to spot on our journeys we draw pictures and our post cards have wonderful illustrations
our pens come out when waiting for meals and have saved us from fractiousness on numerous occasions,
lots of activities and nibbles!
or alternatively…the grandparents!!
a carrier bag because i know at least one will be sick and it will be where you cannot stop
Some new books/new colouring book/new CD – as well as some favourites.
a nanny
A mini-whiteboard with attachable board pen (washable ink of course!) and wiping rag – good for so many games!
babywipes!!!
if were in the car we always take the potty kids aged 6, 4 and 3 otherwise we’d have to stopevery 10 min for one of them
the nintendo ds
It has to be their favourite cuddly toy to snuggle up with!
A cwtch blanket, or you might know it as a coochie blanket, Cwtch is the welsh word for cuddle and its my daughters favourite comfort blanky……………awwww
easy answer, HANDCUFFS AND STRONG GAG!, SERIOUS ANSWER ELECTRONIC GAMES, AND FOR YOUNGER ONES DRAWING MATERIAL, AND PAPER
Their favourite toy, with an address and contact label round it’s neck if it ever goes missing, God forbid!!!
a nightlight – turns a scarey new bedroom into a pleasurable experience!!
brand new books that I know they’ll like
colouring books, notepad and pencils – essential for keeping boredom at bay
… lots and lots of wet wipes. You can never have too many!
A pad of paper and some pens – drawing, writing lists, games, the list goes on and on and you don’t have to worry about the batteries running out.
The ultimate kid toy (for boys) for a nice vacation in a Constance beach resort is a small Hot Wheels pick-up truck on large wheels. Perfect to play in the sand. Create a crazy race track in the sand with your son, use shells, stones to decorate the roads, build bridges, tunnels… and you’re all set to enjoy a good book for a few hours.
Trust me, I’m a specialist!
Tissues, even if it’s to make paper hats with … you need tissues!
My tip is to pack a babysitter!
Wet wipes, ziploc bags and shopping bags.
it has to be clarence my daughter’s teddy,he comes everywhere with us.
When travelling with children I always pack… A bottle of wine !! =D
