Frequent “consequences” of flying with a child are exhausted neighbors on the plane and tired parents.

To avoid finding yourself in a similar situation, prepare for upcoming events in advance.

In this article, you will find a list of toys that will help keep your little one busy during the flight – with their help, your child will not become a cause of headaches for you or those around you.

Magnetic drawing board

This "accessory" replaces a stack of paper and a bunch of pencils. In addition, with a magnetic board you will not have to look for a felt-tip pen that fell between the chairs.

Sticker book

A great choice for little ones who love to stick stickers. Choose stickers with animals, cars or cartoon characters according to your child's preferences.

Plasticine

You don't have to take the whole pack - you can get by with a small piece of plasticine - it takes up little space and gives many opportunities for creativity and development of fine motor skills. With your child, mold a snake, a bun, a dog and treats for them.

Massage ball and ring Su-Jok

These items gently massage the baby's hands and fingers, providing a calming effect and developing speech and thinking. Such a pleasant massage will be useful even for the mother.

Miniature figurines

These can be figures of people, animals and cars - with their help, the child will have the opportunity to create various plots for games: a zoo, a farm, a parking lot or an entire city.

Favorite toy

The presence of a favorite toy nearby calms the child. In addition, you can feed the doll or teddy bear, give it water, put it to bed and tell it about what is happening outside the window.

Books

You can take your favorite fairy tales or new stories with exciting plots. It is especially interesting to read a book about the destination on the road.

Educational aids

Choose those that are appropriate for your child's age, and remember: learning something new is always more interesting together.
