Travel Ideas: Ready for Testing

The following items/ideas are untested. When we get back from our trip, I'll update on their effectiveness - if any is to be reported.

Lucy's Plane Pack

In the pencil holder:

*markers...yes, crayons are safer...maybe I'll switch

*white board marker

*pen

*tape

*glue stick (if it makes it through security)

*kids scissors (4" blade is approved, we'll see)

*balloon

*paintbrush

*pipe cleaners

In the binder:

Laminated I-Spy

Laminated hidden picture (use dry erase-low odor, we hope:)

Story

Activities to go with stories.

Cut and paste printed on sticker paper.

Finger puppets.

Watercolor pencil sheets:

Also included in folder: extra paper, coloring book pages.

Charlottes Plane Pack

This one was hard (she's only10 months)

*popcicle sticks

*clothes pin

*balloon

*big pom poms

*googly eyes

*pipe cleaners

*feather

In her folder:

Textured papers.

Other:

Small Scarf, magazine (to rip up), nesting/stacking/balls all in one

These story cards that have little plastic animals you can touch on each card as you read the story.

To keep them together I hole punched the stack and used a binder ring.

Some small surprises to open along the way.

And of course, lots of snacks. I tried to keep them fairly sugar free as I don't want to add to the "stuck on an airplane for 16+ hours" effect.

Wish us luck!
