Airplane Survival Bags

Time to unwrap another homemade gift. I wanted to find something to keep my kids entertained on the long plane ride to Disney World so I made each kid a travel bag to take along with them:


I found some inexpensive canvas bags and some cute Disney material. I just cut the pictures out of the material and sewed them on to the bag and added some ribbons and strips of material on the straps. I also sewed some Velcro along the top to keep everything contained. Then the fun part...I found lots of Disney themed activities at All a Dollar to put in the bags. I put in crayons, coloring books, stickers, travel games, treats, stamps, and puzzles. Now the triumph will be if these bags help make the flight a little more enjoyable for us...and the rest of the passengers who have to be in such close quarters to my kids. Disney World, here we come....if we survive the flight!


Here are some great road/plane trip printables that would also come in handy!

one other boredom buster my kids love-PIPE CLEANERS! put a few pacakges in, the the kids can bend and make stuff--keep their little hands busy and they dont' make too much of a mess.
