Dutch inspired in-flight activities

We were not sure how Luath would cope with her first flight mainly as she can be sensitive to noise and also that she isn’t keen on being contained.  We planned to take her favourite two soft toys, a book and two magazines (which have lots to do).  I also wanted to bring something along that made reference to where we were flying to (The Netherlands).
I printed off a map, marking our departure and arrival airports.  I made a plane so we could follow along as we flew.

I cut a Dutch flag into it’s three colours so we could remake it.

I made some tulips and some spare flower heads.  To be used for matching.  They could be used for sequencing, snap or memory pairs.
 
I made an image of a windmill from shapes.  I printed the windmill as a mat and the shapes to lay on top.

I also printed a colouring page of a pair of clogs.
We used all of these on our outward flight.  Luath played with them all.  She enjoyed the windmill and matching the tulips best.  Luath enjoyed her first flight and was only slightly concerned re the noise on landing.
