We are going on our first holiday abroad in August and would like any top tips travelling with little ones! Thanks! ❤️

Our girls are now 7 and almost 4 and we always give them their own backpack to take on the plane. They can choose a cuddly toy to take with them and any comforter they have. I also pop in a colouring book and pencils, a sticker book each, they each have an iPad with games and movies downloaded along with their headphones and I make up a snack box for them with veg, fruit, crackers, cookies, cheese string.
I take them each an empty water bottle and fill it when we get through security.
I pack them each a spare outfit in a ziploc bag in their back pack. I also pack them each another spare outfit in mine or DH’s hand luggage, along with a spare outfit for us.
i (still) have a clear ziploc bag with a pack of wipes, calpol sachets and antibacterial gel in my hand luggage for any emergencies.

we also, usually, take something new in either DH’s or my hand luggage - like those books that use water to colour but once the dry the colour disappears or a new sticker book or small toy for them to play with if they get fidgety
