I'm going on a trip in 2 weeks time and I'm taking my daughter with me.
The flights are around 17 hours each way, but I've split them with a 3 hour stop-over in Dubai in each direction around halfway through. Outbound, we leave at 9pm so I hope she'll sleep most of the first leg. The second leg is daytime. In-bound - the whole flight is during the day.
My daughter will be 2 in May. She's a bright kid and fairly advanced for her age in what she likes playing with, books etc but she is not a television watcher at all. I will have a DVD player as it's on my laptop, there is also children's TV on the flight-entertainment system but if I'm lucky she'll watch it for 10 minutes tops.
I'm putting together goody bags to try and entertain her. She's extremely 'wilful' to quote my father and fairly energetic so I feel very sorry already for whoever is sitting next to us. She is also not a child who likes to sleep - nor will she eat things like raisins etc.
So far I've come up with:
- selection of books
- new doll with clothes and accessories
- colouring book
- pens
- new sparkly pencil case
- fluffy easter chicks
- easter themed erasers
- easter themed pencils
I'm really stuck for other ideas - she loves her cousin's dolls-house and I'm wondering if there are mini or portable ones. She's quite a girly girl which makes it hard for me as I was not.
Any ideas gratefully recieved! (Or I may just opt for a big bottle of Benadryl )
