I'm going to be traveling overseas with 6 kids, ages 1-14. I need your best ideas. Flight is 10 hours long.
Here's what I have so far
Crayons/coloring books
For older kids-crossword puzzles and sudoku
Electronic handheld games
Stickers
Lots of food

Make sure you bring real food, not just snacks.

I'm a big fan of Melatonin or benadryl for flights. It helps them sleep and pass some of the time at least.

So I always get my kids matching bookbags and prefill them with food, snacks, sensory toys (like squishy, beady things), a Nintendo switch, games, headphones, a fresh pair of socks, sticker books and a personal blanket / neckroll. All stuff (aside from the Nintendo, blanket and neckroll) that they've never seen. My teen daughter gets some new kpop magazines, my 10 year old gets new Pokémon cards, stuff like that. The bookbag is good for ID purposes, just in case, and the kids are excited to see what mom loaded them with. We've done this long haul a few times and it works well. Good luck!

Check mother could storefront on Amazon
She has many links with ideas
Toddlers spinners, reusable stickers, boogie boards

Pack separate carryons for each kid. Preferably knapsacks so each kid is responsible for their own

Not sure if you have anyone in diapers, change of clothes, extra wipes, paci, bottle with the drink, blanket etc

I typed up a schedule for the kids with things to do during each time slot.

Can’t remember everything off hand but I filled a backpack for each of them with Jewish magazines, soft cover books, little Lego sets, snacks, erasable writing tablets, snacks, lunch and other small stuff. A portable DVD player or a way to listen to stories from your phone would be helpful too.
