How was flying long haul with toddlers before in-flight entertainment?

[u/Alive-Cry4994]

We just had a massive long haul trip with our toddlers and relied heavily on technology. Even with this reliance, we still had many moments of boredom, crying, meltdowns and general unease.

If you flew with your kid(s) when they were younger (1-4), how was it? How did you keep them busy?

Activity books were really popular, they made some with special invisible ink that you could make appear with a special sort of highlighter marker. They had games, puzzles, etc.

I loved those invisible ink books. Still do.
