Shaz36 Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Hiya, My wee one had the Nintendogs and Catz games from about age 4. There's parts where you have to help out with reading stuff, but they could get by looking after the little pets quite happily for a bit. I actually borrowed loads of games for the journey, and put music on an ipod for her, (now aged 7), as well as colouring books, reading books, a doll, a teddy, and some littlest pet shop figures. She never really touched any of it, except sleeping with her teddy! She watched a few films, cartoons, music videos and slept. She also played with her little sister. So dont stress, if they're anything like my 2, they keep each other entertained. Good luck, Shaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsaps Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 thanks Shaz, i'm probably worrying too much as for them playing together, unfortunately they're better at fighting with each other :arghh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaz36 Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 I'll tell you one thing that really was worthwhile - trunki's!! Both kids got one before we went, and they kept them amused in the airport, saved their little legs as they got pulled around, gave them a seat wherever we were, and somewhere to store all their own stuff. Well worth the money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ozzysteve Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Yeh my two were the same, took ds but never even turned it on!. Tvs on the plane were brilliant loads of films and things to do. Just dont mention the Kids meals :biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaz36 Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Only thing was, the entertainment system on our first flight was down! Luckily that flight they slept most of the way. I did wonder about taking a portable DVD player next time, as the next leg would've been a nightmare had it gone down again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rahrah Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 still stressing about entertaining the kids on the plane and was wondering if there are any DS Lite games that would appeal to this age group? thanks for any suggestions I went armed with loads of DS games but like Ozzysteve said - our were hardly touched. My 6 year old love fiddling with the TV and staring at other passengers :embarrassed: - but did play with DS in Oz when she couldn't get to sleep cos of time difference! 'Cooking MAMA, build a bear' for 5 years old - 'I did it Mum' really good for little ones! Honestly though I was FAR worse than wither of the kids with 'are we there yet' so I wouldn't worry too much - Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
