Your best entertainment ideas for a 1 year old on long flights please!

[robino]

We are moving to the Middle East and I am just organising my goody bags to try to keep the DC entertained!

I'm Not so worried about the 5 and 3.9 year old DDs; I have crayons, colouring, card games and other random stuff ready to wrap and stash in their new wheeled cabin bags plus they can use the iPad, read, chat etc.

Over-active DD3 who will be 15 months by then is a slightly different matter. I am gearing myself up to spend 7 hours chasing her up and down the aisles but am hoping I can come up with some genius distractions! There will be happy land figures, one of those magnetic drawing boards and tiny aqua draws, maybe some finger puppets but does have anybody have foolproof, fail safe toddler distractions?

Books, wooden puzzles, Plasticine, healthy snacks, Fuzzy Felt. Good Luck!

Stickers lots and lots ..ones that can be stuck and restuck to you , her, the window, the seat infront again and again. If she deson't have her own seat then put all the arm rests up , shove a sweater over the gaps and make everybody squash up so you can all fit. One flight my dd ripped a newspaper for 40 mins!! She was in heaven and it was easy to collect up afterwards!!!!! Good luck

Plasticine and stickers added to the list! She won't have her own seat but 5 and 3 year olds have small bums, will put them on a pre-flight diet to ensure space
