I agree with Limey about keeping the "stuff" to a minimum. Crayons & small colouring book is good. Those ones you get with a single texta that goes on invisible then reacts with the paper to make colour are good, small too. But the thing I was going to suggest was a miniature magnadoodle. They are travel sized, usually have a clip, the pen thing is attached, and it can be drawn & erased over and over and over again. Handy afterwards in the car too.
I still think playdoh is ok, no messier than food really, its quiet to play with & tactile. Ticks all the boxes for me. If you use a food tray you'll be sweet. And anyway, i'm sure the price of your ticket includes the services provided by the airline (which would include cleaning of the carpetted flooring).
YAY, just got back from the discount variety stores and got loads of cool stuff. New things for the trip there and other new stuff for the trip home.
Sunny I got a 8 pack of mini playdoh's they will be fun for ds an dh to make stuff with and it's interactive as you say and it will occupy him for a while
Marydean I got a mini travel magnadoodle thingo and another type which is flat and plastic, same concept but a bit different.
Jackrose awesome ideas, thanks so much!
Lime, no I wasn't kidding about ds running all over the plane.... but supervised! dh would be right next to him and unless I've come across like a crazy person on BB over the last few years I'm not sure why you would have thought that we would let a 23 month old child run free by himself around a plane? I'm not sure if you've just got me on a bad day but seriously what kind of mother do you think I am? We gentle parent our son and if he doesn't want to sit on our lap and wants to explore the plane then that's exactly what we will let him do, we aren't going to restrain him and he scream his head off instead or be distressed.
