Keeping your child entertained and engaged can make the flight experience more enjoyable for both you and your child. Here are five fun activities to help keep your child entertained during flights.
-
Bring a Travel Activity - Kit Pack a small backpack with activities like coloring books, puzzles, stickers, and small toys to keep your child occupied during the flight. You can also include some new items that your child has never seen before, to add an element of surprise and excitement.
-
Read Books - Reading together is a great way to pass the time and encourage your child's imagination. Bring along your child's favorite books or pick up a new one at the airport. Reading can also help your child relax and fall asleep during the flight.
-
Play Games - Simple games like I Spy, 20 Questions, or Tic Tac Toe can be played with just a pen and paper. You can also download apps or games on your phone or tablet for more entertainment options. Some airlines also offer in-flight games or activities for children.
-
Watch Movies or TV Shows - Many airlines offer in-flight entertainment, but it's always a good idea to bring along your own device loaded with your child's favorite movies or TV shows. Make sure to bring headphones and a splitter if multiple children will be watching.
-
Snack Time - Packing a variety of healthy snacks can be a great way to keep your child engaged and occupied during the flight. Consider bringing some fun and nutritious snacks like trail mix, fresh fruit, or granola bars. Snacking can also help relieve pressure in your child's ears during takeoff and landing.
Remember to take breaks and stretch your legs throughout the flight to avoid restlessness and discomfort. With a little bit of planning and creativity, you can make your child's flight experience fun and enjoyable.
