What do you to entertain your toddler on an airplane?

I did this several times and one of the things that helped was a quick trip to the discount store where I bought several small inexpensive toys he'd never seen before and put them in the carry-on bag I packed for him to be brought out whenever he got too antsy. I also made sure he had coloring books and crayons, snacks, storybooks, and his favorite small stuffed animal. One thing my son loved was a $5 calculator I bought at the grocery story with a big display. Toddlers love to push buttons. Have a great trip!

Bring plenty of snacks, puzzles and games with you on your trip...play hand games. My kids loved Where's Waldo books, where you try to find all the items listed.Get a sock puppet and play with your child. I entertained my toddlers for 6 hours on a plane this way.

LOL Don't be afraid if people look at you like you've lost your last brain cell...travelling with kids can be fun, educational for both of you.

With my kids I make sure I bring their favorite stuffed animal, a coloring book (I prefer the Crayola Color Wonder Coloring books and markers). A few snacks, and in case all of the above fails I have downloaded a few cartoon shows into my ipod.

Take plenty of snacks and quiet things to do. They can not get up and run around on the plane and nobody wants to hear them screaming!

I bring crayons and coloring books and a few books to read aloud. Or even just a portable dvd player and some movies. Happy New Year!!!

I never had a problem with that, I would bring toy's ,snacks, most of my flights were 10 hours + flying from over seas. Never had a problem having to entertain them to be honest.

Good pregunta ('question' in Spanish). Bring some toys or his/her favorite book. Maybe he'll/she'll just sleep the entire plane ride.

well brin a couple toys that they love, or let them pick out a new one at the store and dont let them have it until u get on the plane.

I'd get them sleepy (Making it a late night flight or making him not have a lot of sleep the night before) so they fall asleep on the plane and you have no problems. Otherwise get them a new toy to play with on the airplane or get them to do a project, play a game, or watch a movie.

I open the carry-on bag and let them have a little fresh air.

Lots of toys...Also I would try and keep them awake as much as possible before you fly so they can spend a majority of the time on the plane sleeping

Keep him up the night before so he will sleep during the flight.

Put a little brandy in the bottle! Child will sleep and everyone will love you!

Duct tape their mouth shut and tie them to the chair... problem solved!!

generally when I had to fly with my kids when they were younger, I sedated them so they slept thru the whole flight, talk to your doctor about appropriate sedation, I used Dimetapp.
