Toys for a long haul flight!

Описание: Personal recommendations of what I purchased for our toddler for our long haul flight from Australia to London.

TRANSCRIPT:

Hi, my name is Zoe and I’m an Australian mum who has just moved to London. This video is going to show you a few things I purchased for our son. He’s two and a half, and these are items I bought for our long plane trip from Australia to London that he still plays with now. I highly recommend them if you have a long flight coming up — they’ve definitely not gone to waste and we’ve been really happy with them.

Alright, first up are these little plastic, rubbery dinosaurs. Well, they’re not really dinosaurs, but we call them that. They’re great — they stick to the walls, and he still plays with them all the time, especially in the bath. They’re his favourite bath toys. There are lots of different little characters that he likes to name and give voices to. They came in an egg-shaped container, which we still use for storage.

The set also comes with pieces you can build with, and you can attach the “dinosaurs” to them to make different shapes and little creations. They’re really fun, and they make a very satisfying popping sound. If you like fidget toys, you’ll enjoy these — they’re meant for my son, but I get a lot of joy out of them too.

The next thing we purchased was a Magnatile Mini Set. It comes with its own metal case so you can build inside it on the plane. That’s the idea, anyway — toddlers don’t always stick to the plan, so we probably lost a few pieces on the flight, but that’s okay. We still have plenty left.

You may have seen Magna-Tiles before; they’re little magnetic building blocks. There are different shapes and you can build whatever you like. He loved them on the plane, and I’m actually hoping to buy some of the bigger, compatible sets from Facebook Marketplace for Christmas. He plays with them all the time and uses them to make little playgrounds for the dinosaurs. They’re great for imagination and very satisfying to use.

Another thing I recommend is pens. I got these Crayola ultra-clean washable pens for our son. They come off clothes and surfaces really easily. When we got off the plane, we could just grab baby wipes and clean everything. We did lots of colouring on the flight, and he still uses them regularly. They’re really great.

So that’s what I’d recommend if you’ve got a long-haul flight coming up. We used all of these a lot on the plane, and they’re still very popular with him now. Let me know if there’s anything else you’d recommend — all our family is in Australia, so we’ll likely be doing that flight many more times.
