Years ago we bought something called a Summer Sports Set from toysRus ... it contains table tennis bats and a ball, a frisbee, velcro catching gloves thing, 2 scoops and a ball and some 'horseshoes' and a peg ... all in a net bag about £15.

Thanks x
We do 100 miles to Chunnel then 250 miles to Le Mans
followed by the next day 250 miles to West Coast of France I guess the whole return journey costs about £10.00 in presents..... mini cars, crayon and little book, stickers ....tons of stickers.....wrap them up.....
After many a nightmare journey we learnt that the pressie idea works really well.
I do a count down (thanks to the Sat Nav) to when they presents are being given out..... really relieves the tension that you normally get with kids...
With little ones - bear in mind:
Kids get pins and needles if they sit in a cars seat/booster seat too long and change nappies more than normal or else they wont be comfortable !
Ahhhh.....
Good luck
PS If the wife is reading this then sorry for taking the credit, this is all your idea.

Don't go blowing letting the kids blow them all over a vineyard or cidre farm ... they are VERY precious about their organic terroir.
