Article: Reading your toddler their favorite books can be a great way to entertain them. This may also help to distract your toddler if they are feeling uncomfortable or impatient with being on the plane. You may also want to pack a few new books so your toddler will have something new and exciting to look at. Nesting cups are compact, inexpensive, and they can provide lots of entertainment for a toddler. Your toddler will have fun stacking and nesting them and banging them together. Lower the tray table in front of your toddler so that they have a place to play with the cups. If you don't have nesting cups, you could also give your toddler a few plastic cups to play with. Ask the flight attendant if they would mind giving you a few empty cups. You can provide your toddler with gel cling stickers and let them press them onto the window for a fun activity. These are available in craft supply stores and they come in all kinds of designs. They don't permanently stick on the window and they are easy for little hands to stick them on and take them off. Make sure to remove the gel clings from the window before you leave the plane! There are lots of different travel games that you can purchase and play with your toddler. Look for games that are appropriate for your child's age. Some toddlers may also be able to play basic card games. Try getting a travel BINGO card that you can help your toddler fill out. Get a simple game, such as Connect 4, and show your toddler how to play. Puzzles and peg boards are also good options for playing with your toddler on the plane. Bring a standard deck of cards and play Go Fish, or get a special card game meant for young children, such as Old Maid. Play-dough is a great sensory play item for your toddler. Give them a ball of play-dough and place a plastic mat over the tray table. Then, let your toddler create with the play-dough! You can even join in with them and mold items that they ask you to. For example, if your toddler wants to make a play-dough snowman, you could make the buttons, nose, eyes, and a scarf to place on it. Although you might not usually let your toddler watch TV or play tablet games, allowing them to indulge in some screen time during the flight may be a good way to keep them entertained. Download a toddler-friendly show or movie that your child can watch during the flight. Keep in mind that it is unlikely that your toddler will want to watch a show or movie for the entire flight, so make sure that you have plenty of other options for them.
