Last year we traveled to Kerala on flight with my daughter who was only 3 years old, i was very worried when the plan was prepared to travel by flight because its very difficult to keep my daughter in one place for 3-4 hours,a constantly knocked me how can i bring to keep my daughter occupied on flight, it became very challenging for me to entertain my daughter to keep her calm and feel easy, so i did some research on internet, consulted my friends and families and did managed to receive few useful ways to make my very peaceful and enjoyable.
Today i will share with with all my readers some useful and effective ways to entertain kids during the travel by flight:-
1) Ipad and Mobile cool games for kids
Nowadays kids are very tech friendly and habituated they are very fond of gadgets since birth, i took little advantage of this habits, making my daughter engaged with mobile and Ipads. Since i am full time working women sometimes to keep my daughter engage i provide her some educational games and activities task on mobile/Ipad gadgets such as mismatch matching, formation of two letter words, three letter words, coloring , listening rhymes song ,this activities make her fully occupied for few times so you can easily adopt this method.
2) Carrying her favorite Toys
While travelling i carried her favorite toys like Barbie girl, she always wanted to play with her, she was not plying alone so i along with her joined the game so it become not only play but also entertaining for her.
3) Carry her mini library
As my daughter is only two year old coloring , pasting stickers is always very entertaining for her , this books are easily available online i ordered from amazon.in
4) Carry her favorite foods
I always try to carry some healthy snacks for my daughter which is always yummy for her, so she enjoy her favorite foods.
5) Carry kids headphone
My daughter love to hear chu-chu tv rhymes, and her favorite Bollywood songs, this head phone proved to be really helpful for me to entertain her.
6) Provide her a window seat
Not only kids even adult also enjoys and love to grab the window seat as it gives a mesmerize view from the sky , so i provided her a window seat where she was very comfortable and enjoying the view.
7) Bring Play-doh
Trays are a good space for play-doh, just e sure bring wet wipes to clean the place after her play.
So , all in all, our flight with sweet angel was quite successful, i may have over prepared but my confidence that we would all make it through without having to profusely apologize to our fellow passengers for a screaming kids , Thanks again for reading and happy travels.

I think today’s kids are much more advanced than our generation. They find their way to deal with this situation. Though I liked the ideas suggested in blog, giving them window seat or earphone to listen music are good ideas as it limit to carry extra burden of books or toys. Still it is always preferable to be prepared rather than think later on.
I have traveled with my 2.5 year old on multiple flights. In fact he has been on 6 different flights longer than 7 hours. In my opinion, the flight is the easy part, it’s the vacation that is tough!
That’s quite a tricky topic. Having kids toys onboard along with some good music is what I do usually. Rest the inplane kids movie does good job.
My favorite travel bag list except for play dog. That didn’t work for us .But crayons and art stuff keeps my little girl happy.
Now I have options to keep them engaged during my flight with them as they always complain about getting bored ..Thanks
I carry IPad and toys for my little one. Very helpful for long journeys. Nice piece!
You have shared some great tips here. I too carry a big bag with all the essentials which I would need to keep my kids entertained during a flight.
Great list we are soon travelling and these will come handy. I had thought of taking his toys and his favorite videos for even offline watch. Rest I can try for sure though not full proof but we parents can just try.
I guess you have covered all points and it is a task to keep them engaged on a flight. Carrying colours and paper has worked well for me too. Yes, and they are always hungry on a flight ?
