Fun/Craft pack
I have to take the boys on a long haul flight soon and I'm trying to put togeter a couple of little craft packs for them to keep the busy (this is in addition to books, toys & snacks).
I'm not feeling very inspired - so far all I've come up with is drawing pad, pencils and stickers. What else could I put in there? Remembering that it has to fit on the seat tray.
I thought about beads and string but then I had visions of trying to pick them up and thought better of it.....
Please help me!

How about some little jigsaw puzzle type games? or even little easy card games like snap or go fish???

My first thought was pipecleaners - although not sure how you'd go getting those onboard (if there's a problem with the wire in the middle you might have to bail them in an airport bin)! Or the small packets that have about 8 little strips of plasticene (saw them at Big W last week) - you'd want to take that on sealed in the original packaging. Novelty textas/pens are good for a bit of extra drawing value - like textas that change colour or crayons/pencils that have 4 or more colours in the one lead. The other thing I thought of is those Crayola sheets that are black but turn colours when you draw on them with the special texta.

Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Maybe take a glue stick and some coloured paper?
Fisher price do a mini mangadoodle for travelling - we picked one up in Woolies for $9.95
we used to play this when we were on long trips as kids - mum would do up a list of things we might see on the trip and then we would have to mark them off as we saw them i.e a man with a bald head & a beard or a tartan suitcase
