Top 10 Airplane Friendly Toys to Keep Your Little One Busy

We’ve found the best toys for Toddlers & Pre-Schoolers for the plane! Thank us later 😉

1. Suction Cup Spinner Toys: These are awesome sensory toys that stick to just about any surface and will keep your child entertained for a while. They’re even more fun if you get a window seat on the flight and can stick them to the window. Fun for all ages but most popular for 1-3 year olds: Hooku 3 Pcs Suction Cup Spinner Toys, Suction Cup Toys for Babies, Spinning Toys for Toddlers 1-3, Sensory Toys Early Education Toys Bathtub Toy Dining Chairs Toys, Birthday Gifts for Baby Boy Girl https://a.co/d/ilTC0m5
2. Magnetic Drawing Board: These are so convenient because they’re lightweight and are so easy to throw in your carryon. Instead of just gray and white, our favorite is the board with colors.

3. Water Wow Activity Books: These have always been a hit with my son. Fill the paint brush with a lil water and magically see the pictures come to life as you ‘paint.’ Because you’re only using a water pen with a brush tip, there’s no mess! They are available in dozens of themes from dinosaurs to numbers. Melissa & Doug Water Wow! – Water Reveal Pad Bundle – Farm, Safari & Under The Sea https://a.co/d/fILRgid
4. My Quiet Book: Great for travelling because they’re lightweight to easily throw in a carryon and filled with Montessori learning style activities. Bonus is they’re made of fabric so easily washable too! deMoca Quiet Book Montessori Toys, Toddlers Travel Toy, Preschool Learning Activities – Educational Toy, 9 Sensory Toddler Activities Busy Book for Boys & Girls and Zipper Bag, Blue https://a.co/d/cUD1ptA
5. Scratch Art: These are great for toddlers to adults! Anyone who likes to doodle. They’re compact and fun to doodle with your child. The pages have layers on top pictures you reveal by scratching it off with a wood stylus pen.

6. Glow sticks: This would probably be one of my most inexpensive recommendations but one of the best! When the lights go out on the flight, take a few of these bad boys out and watch your toddlers eyes light up with excitement! You can purchase a variety of these from Dollar Tree and they’ll stay lit for hours! Probably even after your flight lands!

7. Wikki Stix: These are so much fun! This award-winning activity is essentially made up of knitting yarn and food-grade wax making them bendable colourful sticks. Practice learning numbers and letters or be be creative and make 3-D art. Amazon sells a travel set for around $5 that’s perfect for the plane linked here; WikkiStix Travel Fun Pak, 24 Wikki Stix and 8-Page idea Booklet and playboard, Made in The USA! https://a.co/d/fqSfdWS
8. PlayDoh: I definitely have a love/hate relationship with this stuff lol. It can sure make a mess but if you’re supervising your child right beside them on the plane it shouldn’t be a problem. If your kids are like my son they can be occupied with it for a long time. Before you know it you’ve landed at your destination!

9. Story time Buddy: We found this one from Leap Frog and my son loves it! It also has all 5-star reviews. Not only does your child get to have a cute plush toy accompany him/her on the flight but they can also read them stories. The set comes with the plush story time buddy toy and a set of lightweight, small books that are great for traveling. LeapFrog Storytime Buddy , Brown https://a.co/d/hOi5gWJ
10. LCD Writing Dry Erase Board: You can find various brands of these but our favourite is the Crayola Ultimate Light Board. Let your child draw until their hearts content! It conveniently has a place for the gel markers and is easily erasable. Turn on a switch to see your art light up or leave the light on and draw in the dark. Perfect for flights at night when it’s dark inside the cabin. Crayola Light Up Activity Board, Kids Art Kit, Toys & Gifts for Ages 3, 4, 5, 6 https://a.co/d/iArsmDo

Also while we love all of these products, we don’t recommend you need all of them. Pick a few that you think your children will love and surprise them with them once you get on your flight!
