I have 2 1/2 year old twins. On our last flight I packed a large backpack of necessities which included snacks, a change of clothes, sanitizing wipes to keep their area clean, hand wipes to keep little hands clean, and diaper changing items. Then, I packed each toddler their own child sized backpack full of new fun items they've never seen before. I included 3 new books to read and a new stuffed animal to cuddle with. I also included two new awesome no mess toys from crayola: the Crayola My First Mess Free Touch Lights Activity Pad and the Crayola Sand Scribbler. Both were perfect for the plane. We made it there and backwith no tears!
