I have been trawling the internet recently looking for a few toys for Ashley to help me get through the 26, yes 26, hour flight to Australia. If I read one more 'expert' suggest a box of crayons I'm going to scream. Ashley doesnt like to draw, and crayons come free on the flight. Anyways.......
I saw something full of beads with hidden treasures inside but lost the link and couldnt find it again. And then as if by magic I found some very resourceful, creative Mumma was making them and I wondered 'Why didn't I think of that?' Too intent on getting my credit card out I guess...
So we did it, I had all the 'ingredients' in my cupboard, and it occupied Ashley for a whole hour!
The 'treasure' was a quick collection of tiny tiny tiny things that my house seems to be flooded with. Buttons, single earings, beads, farmyard animals etc. Most of them end up in Fae Fae's mouth so I was glad to find an excuse to lock them away. It ended up being a bit too heavy to take on the plane and Ashley did throw a bit of a wobbly when he found out I'd super glued the 'treasures' inside
