Lilia’s toys

And we did this exercise several times until she was left with one box of things.
Toys
Now this one is a life saver. We try to avoid screen time as much as possible and this is a great alternative. You can download as many stories as you want (some are free, some you have to pay for – great birthday gifts from grandparents if they are far away :-) ). You can even record your own stories. Lilia listens to it while we are driving, before she sleeps…all the time!
Well obvious choice for a child. They live on her bed and don’t weigh anything.
This is her “stuff” box. She has some My Little Pony figurines, a Lego campervan…and bits and blobs she finds.
Games
This is another favourite. The logic game hardly takes up any space and Lilia can play alone or with us. Hours of fun!
The classic game provides hours of fun for the whole family! It’s simple enough for small children to understand but still fun enough for adults not to get bored quickly.
I guess you all know this classic :-)

And if you aren’t a big fan of princesses, there is also a pirate version!
Books
Lilia LOVES reading so books were non negociable. We tried to bring a mix of English, French and Arabic so we can vary. Here are some of her favourites:
SCHOOL
Lilia’s kind teacher prepared lots of exercises for her to do during our trip. So we brought them, some exercise books, her pencils and markers, letters to learn to read and write…
