Fun Activities To Keep Your Child Occupied During A Flight

Lots of adults are having some problems wrapping their mind around the fact that they are riding in a plane that is flying thousands of feet up in the air. This is why you should not expect your child to understand and not be afraid of flying right away.

One of the biggest problems that you will encounter when flying with a toddler is that they tend to have a short attention span. Because of this, the long hours of flying can bore them out in just a short while.You may think that you are already in good hands when you bring some tablet or any gadgets with you. But after only an hour or so, you will be surprised to see that your child is starting to get bored already.

So what should a parent do during tough times? Well, you have to look for alternative activities. Make sure that it is fun so your child will be entertained by it. Here are some of our recommendations.

ñ  Wrap the toys.

We recommend that you buy a whole lot of toys from the dollar store. It does not have to be expensive. It just has to be entertaining. Instead of giving it directly to your child, add in some twist by wrapping it in a gift wrapper. Every 30-60 minutes, let your child unwrap the “gift”. Your child is bound to enjoy the rest of the trips playing with new toys. The excitement that comes with unwrapping the gift will let the curiosity linger in for a while.

ñ  Decorate the window.

If you have some budget to spare, we recommend that you book a window seat. Once the plane is already in the air and the seat belt sign has been turned of, then it is time for you to get started on the fun activity. Bring out the gel window clings and let your child decorate the window in any way she wishes!

ñ  Bring some coloring books.

The bets thing about coloring books is that there is something new every time you turn into the other page. It provides your son lots of fun activities that he will enjoy during the trip. Just make sure that the coloring book is the only thing that your child will color.

These are some of the most fun ways to keep your child calm during a flight. Keep in mind that you must not lose your patience during the entire flight. The tantrums that your child is throwing is quite understandable. After all, you have placed him inside a tube like machine and it has lifted him up in the air. The fear of falling down is very common to all of us so the best thing that you can do is to let your child enjoy the fun activities mentioned above.
