Seb used to have one of those drawling things- magnetic "pad" with a special pen that you could draw on I with, then an eraser which was on a sliding bar at the bottom. He loved it but chucked it from his pushchair a few weeks ago. We are taking him on a 7hr flight on Wednesday and feel it will be invaluable but haven't got a clue where I'd get one from?!


As a slight aside; are toddlers allowed their own handluggage (mini backpack) on flights?

(we are flying BA)


Ta!

I don't know re etch a sketch I'm afraid although I'm sure I've seen cheapo versions in the Peckham pound shops. If not Argos? Pound shop also sells fake toy iPhones... ;)


But toddlers (and babies) get full hand (and hold) luggage allowance I think. Was certainly the case on our flight, regardless of having a seat. So you basically have 4x hand luggage allowance - loads! I think I said my handbag was baby's but they could have their own bag instead. It's kind of fair enough given the amount of detritus these babes require on long journeys!

I bought a little version of an etch a sketch in ELC in Mothercare Peckham. Bought it esp for a flight to NZ and it's still a big hit with my 18 month old, even though he won't use the larger version his sister has! Was earlier this year but ELC still do them so possibly in stock.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
