My little Mac n Cheese chef
In other news, since I don't have a "crafty" bone in my body I wonder what crafts would be fun to do with kids on a plane? I plan on buying pipe cleaners since I am now adept at making monkeys, iguanas, babies and of course snakes. I can't think of a single thing other than that wouldn't include beads, glue, a long list of supplies, or a lot of space. Zak just loves to make crafts I know that I could keep him entertained at least one hour out of the 7hrs or so we will be in the air.
The things I've been thinking of bringing with us are:
playing cards
paper and crayons
coloring books
stories
I'm going to buy each of them one special toy but other than that I am fresh out of ideas. At one point I considered bringing play dough but didn't know if I could get that through security. HELP!!!!
what about some of those lacing cards, puppets and of course cars and stickers. those are my suggestions. sounds like a fun plane ride! :)
ReplyDeletei'm a huge fan of aqua doodle and magna doodle - no mess from crayons and markers! if you go the coloring route, little notebooks of paper are better than individual sheets. food always helps pass the time!
ReplyDeleteA little origami might be fun too. If you don't have a book you can find instructions online for some. Hope that helps.
ReplyDeletepaper airplanes, I don't know how well Zak could follow the instructions, but there are a lot of sites out there, I just Googled paper airplanes and found a bunch! Walkmans/discmans just for them might be good, so they can have their own music or a book on tape to listen to...
ReplyDeletePlay doh is not a liquid, so I think you could carry it on a plate! The scent of it could bother other passengers though (maybe? do I remember playdoh having that salty smell?)
