Mrs Hinch shares genius DIY activity book to help keep kids entertained during flights – and it’s all from Amazon
FROM car journeys to flights, any parent will know the struggles of trying to entertain a restless toddler.
But cleanfluencer Mrs Hinch, who has two sons Ronnie and Lennie, has shared her genius solution – and it’s all thanks to bargain buys from Amazon.
Taking to Instagram, the cleaning sensation showed off the DIY activity book she made for her kids and told how they “absolutely love it.”
And according to the mum-of-two, it’s “perfect for long car journeys, flights or even when we pop out for dinner.”
Mrs Hinch, who credits the idea to @abbieflake, begins: “I bought some zipped ring-binder pockets on Amazon and attached those.
“These little squidgy, stretchy things – the boys love them.
“They suction onto aeroplane windows, car windows…put them in!”
Next, she goes on to say how she also added a reusable scribble mat that comes with pens so they can draw on them, rub it out and go again.

And of course, what child doesn’t love LEGO?
“The boys love to stack and build it, so I made it the perfect size to fit inside.”
She continues: “My boys love anything with buttons, so a cheap calculator and some flash cards went in.
“These – my boys love a lock and key.
“They open and close and also double up as a moving car.
“And there you go – a DIY activity book all in one place – perfect for car journeys or flights. Enjoy!”
The post quickly racked up thousands of likes and comments from grateful parents up and down the country.
“Ordering every single thing – what an amazing idea,” praised one.
A second commented: “Oooo those pouches are great can you link in stories? Great for a plane journey with a toddler!”
A third penned: “I used to make these when mine were little! Great sensory books – love them!”
Meanwhile, a fourth wrote: “Love this idea!”
Another added: “This is great for children with SEN – thank you for sharing.”
And for anyone eager to know, Mrs Hinch noted that the pouches on Amazon are called “TOPTIE 6 Pack 3 Ring Binder Pouches, Zippered Binder Pencil Case with 6 Buckles for Stationery.”
