Take it from me, long-haul travel with toddlers can be difficult. Luckily, the problem usually stems from a bored kid more than anything, which is something that can be helped.
But look no further, as we’ve gathered more than a dozen activities that little ones can enjoy during their next flight. Here are 16 ways to entertain a toddler on a plane.
Busy books are books that come with play mats and figurines that bring a story to life. They’re great for encouraging imagination and pretend play in your toddler.
Thankfully, there are large, or chunky, LEGO DUPLO sets perfect for small hands. Their size also makes it easier to keep track of them when it’s time to pack up or move on to the next activity.
Coloring books are an oldie but goodie and can be something you do together to encourage screen-free time on the plane. Some coloring books include other activities, including mazes, tracing, fill-in-the-blank pages, and more.
Crayola Color Wonder uses “magic” markers that only write on the provided paper. The paper often comes with characters or other objects to color and sometimes includes stickers as well.
