Postby BH coping with 3! » Fri Jul 17, 2015 5:13 pm
Just had a read through!!!! I posted this yesterday "Should I get these for our holiday..." as I think like many am just trying to find a reasonable balance. With not responses to my post I have just bitten the bullet and orders a blue and red Activity case for my son (4) and daughter (6). We're flying to Italy for the first time with 3 and thought that these might be a good solution for keeping them busy at the airport, on the plane and while we're away (especially as I think I'll have hands full with the baby). I have downloaded some of their favourite programmes onto the ipad, but my son loses interest quickly and is a monster when he watches any screen for too long, so wanted an easy alternative/balance.
I ended up speaking to Kate at Pipity, who was lovely and helpful, and hope that they're going to be good. I have just ordered a plain paper pad for my son as the activity books might be a bit to advanced for him, but he's happy drawing! Also, we have agreed that we're not going to take any screens with us when we go out to eat as really don't want to get into the habit of the kids using them at the table at meal times... so hope these will be good for eating out too. My package should arrive tomorrow so will post feedback on it all when they arrive!
