We’re off on holiday in July and I always do a little surprise travel bag with some cute holidays bits
for the plane by the po.

my daughter will be starting year one in September. Any great suggestions appreciated

Tiny bubbles?
little colouring book and crayons?
tiny Lego set?
little cars?
tiny doll or Teddy and feeding toys/outfits.

I loved making goody bags when my kids were little. 😊

Our kids always had a checklist of things to look out for on the journey which they could tick off. I changed it depending on where we were travelling to and how we were travelling.

Yes one of the little eye spy books for the airport

A small magnet set or magnetic game can keep them entertained for a while!
Small pot of play dough.
Wipe clean exercise book with sums/writing.

Ds had an Usborne pack of wipeable maze games that was fun. A little tangram type of puzzle!

Depending on whether they are young or old for their age:

Twistables
Logic puzzles/thinking skills book
Sticker books
Vinyl sticker scenes/ Fuzzy felt
Lacing cardboard animals
Small craft kit e.g. a mini sew-your-own kit with a plastic needle or a diamond painting kit
Air dry clay and felt pens to colour it in
Snacks
