We have two plane trips in our future. Both are about 6 hours, but one is mostly nighttime, while the other is mostly daytime. He hasn't flown since he was an infant, so this will be all new for him. Here is what I have assembled for our almost 4 year old.
For him to carry in his backpack:
*viewmaster and assorted reels
*a few tiny spiral notepads with some golf pencils and crayons
*chalkcloth set (rolls up, with a few pieces of chalk)
*a few DK sticker books
*pocket mythology book
*special storybook
*uno
*lacing cards
*a few snack sized boxes of raisins
*packet of graham crackers
*some music cassettes...I am still looking for a children's walkman
*also still looking for compact set of colorforms
For me to carry for him:
*change of clothes
*special blanket he needs to sleep
*going to buy children's dramamine, just in case
Veteran travelers, what do you think of this list?
Thanks!
