With summer just around the corner and our trip to Arizona just a couple days away, I thought I’d share some of the things we are taking with us to keep the kids busy on the plane! Some of these are tried and true favorites for us and some we are trying for the first time, but I hope you can find some ideas to help with your travel plans this summer!
For our 7 year old:
- Her Kindle Kids – which we have set up with over a dozen ebooks from the library (we use the Libby app)
- Yoto Player – our kids are obsessed with this – it gets used everyday from quiet time to car trips and everything in between (all three of our older kids will be using this on the plane – we got a 3 way headphone splitter so they can all listen)
- Stencil Set from Target
- National Park journal
- Travel watercolor set
- Headphones
- Backpack – we got this one from Amazon and added some patches of her favorites things for Christmas (the goal is to add more patches to it as we travel)
- Smart Sweets treats
- Made Good granola bites – new favorite all around!
- Instax Camera
For our 5 year old:
- Backpack
- Melissa and Doug puffy stickers
- National Park journal
- Headphones
- Dot to Dot activity book
- Guess In 10 game
- Scratch Art from Target
For our 2 year old:
For our 1 year old – snacks, books, a couple toys and a lot of prayer!
