These are perfect for ages 2-7yo and of course, great for car rides, train rides and any plane rides (yes, kids need to be entertained and have options even on 2h trips 😅).
Of course, on top of this I also have screens. Plane TV movie/show or their developmental apps on the tablet.
But again: they need options AND they need to be super comfy especially for these longer trips (their bed saves the day, it truly allows them to sleep perfectly and without invading our seats.
My favorite things to pack:
- No mess water coloring books
- Sticker books
- Portable craft activities
- Mini toys they love
- Their developmental tablet & charger
- Colors & crayons
- Kid Headsets (so they don’t fall)
- A cozy blanket
- Mini pillow
- Their plane bed
- PJs
- Their water bottle (no spills)
On top of that we do bring a lot of extra snacks from home to snack on as plane / airport options are limited and not-so-great (also the better food and snacks the less tantrums & better sleep on plane too, our goal).
Finally, another of my tips is not to give them all activities at once / on same flight. We save some for the return flight so there’s always something NEW to explore! Especially for us on the way there when it’s overnight, they need less activities than on the way back so I divide them 20/80.
