Entertaining toddlers on an airplane and in an airport
Entertaining toddlers on an airplane can be a much easier task if you both come prepared and work in the weeks prior to prepare your child. There are so many ideas from busy bags to books that can help kids make it through air travel, but here are just a couple of ideas that focus on the airport as a whole so that it’s an adventure and exciting learning experience!
While both of these activities are very similar, the main difference is that one can be a game and challenge to see who can find them all first and the other is a learning activity to help a child acclimate to and learn about their current environment.
