How to Keep Kids Busy on a Plane


Play catch with a Koosh ball

Stickers (window vinyl stickers are fun too)

Coloring books – non circular crayons

Magnetic dolls

String beads or lacing cards

Finger puppets to tell stories

A new book

Make a pretend cake

Bubble wrap

Have a dress up party with hats, feather boas…pretend to be someone famous traveling

Wrap and unwrap toys with tin foil

Play “Who’s that?” with family pictures

String Cheerios on dental floss

Toy cars on a felt mat

Uno or go fish

Potato head

Read a book together

Co-author a book: Write down your child’s dictated story on a pre-stapled stack of paper, and ask him to supply the illustrations.

Plastic animals on a felt mat

Take silly pictures

Wikki Stix or pipe cleaners sculptures

Make a ball out of 3 bags of rubber bands

Spy on another row (with binoculars, notebook)

 Bungee toys off of the tray table or arm rest with elastic tape ( or a cut rubber band)
