The long-haul flight...

So in May my munchkins and I will be leaving on a jet plane (don't know when we'll be back again), all the way back to my homeland Australia. While I can't wait to be home, surrounded by my family, the thought of that long long long long long flight is not filling me with joy. I thought that if I Googled 'best toys long-haul flight' I would be flooded with a million options, I would be spoilt for choice, and my fingers would be hurting from typing in my credit card number so many times.
 What actually happened was that I was dragged around a million (literally) websites telling me that 'crayons are great for kids on long flights'. What rubbish. Fae would just munch them up and spit them all over me and Spuddy would become bored after one page of the complimentary activity book and take to colouring in the chair, walls windows, tray etc.

 The second most common suggestion was a portable DVD player. As most major airlines now have screens on the back of every seat, I dont see that point of that really. Anyway rant short...This is what I actually ended up buying... 

It is about the sixe of a... um... lunch box? and fold out to reveal loads of cool stuff and it has some figures with it. I wish he still liked Polly Pocket...
 I also made a cool Monster Felt Pouch (Tutorial soon?) for my besty Maiser who is flying to Pakistan with her two boys soon. Im hoping it will be a hit with them and I will make one for Ashley.

I also invested in some kid-sized headphones as I remembered last time I spent the majority of the flight adjusting the free ones that kept slipping of his pea-head.
