Not something that people have had to worry about for the past couple of years….thanks covid

I’ve travelled a few times with babies and toddlers. I’ve found a lot of the time the little ones fall asleep

Great crafty ideas, thanks!

Most airlines give the little ones colouring in books, pencils etc.,…….. even to 3 year olds on a cheap country domestic flight we went on. Just remember some food cannot be taken when it has been on an interstate plane.
Only issue we had was our little one wanted the window blind down when we were getting ready to land….and it had to stay up.

I’ve always been too scared to travel on a plane with my little ones. These are some great tips. The threading one is a good one I hadn’t thought of and could keep them busy for awhile.

oh it is such a hard one – they can feel our tension, so if we relax and act normal, it helps them… love all the soft play games here

cool. some really fantastic ideas here!

Love that quiet book!!

Thanks for the tips. Think I may need to make the felt board and buy some window stickers before our next plane trip. Sounds like a fantastic idea.

Great idea and great article – we have used a few of these (-:

I love the idea of introducing surprises during the trip. I think you need to break up any long road or air trip with snacks, entertainment, a mix of screen time (movie) and other activities.

Great tips – but depends on the age of the children involved. Mine were older and on the two? hour flight from Sydney to Cairns just wanted to watch out of the window most of the time. Of course there were no gadgets in those days either. My greatest fear is their ears, so hard to stop that ache when they are young – thank heavens for good hosties.

I had a craft bag including paper cup cake patties to pull apart (then throw), crayons and paper, paddle pop sticks with Velcro on each side to stick and pull apart, stickers etc. I pulled a different zip lock craft activity out esch hour or so… Worked pretty well

Good tips ! We did most of these and they really get excited with their new bag filled with goodies.

These are some interesting ideas here…

These are all fantastic ideas. I love the felt boards. We fly often so my trick is to buy a new book for my toddler so he has something new to read and keep him interested.

These are wondering tips. That book looks fantastic and the car track. Thank you for sharing

Great tips, I love the DIY felt activity boards. I usually take iPad full of movies and heaps of snacks.

There are some nice magnetic games, like the naval battle game and Monopoly. And magnetic puzzles too!

that was my biggest fear when taking my little ones on the plane was how to keep them occupied. I wish this list was around years ago! – there are some great ideas here.
