Tips to Help Kids Travel with an Airport Activity Kit

Having an airport activity kit with travel-themed pages of puzzles, coloring and more, can be a great distraction for restless kids as you make your way from point A to point B. There are other ways to make your layovers and airport hours more enjoyable for the whole family.

1. Pack Snacks: Bring a variety of their favorite snacks. Snacking can be a great distraction, and it helps keep them occupied. Consider healthy options like fruit, cheese, and crackers.
2. Bring Coloring Books and Crayons: Coloring books or activity books with crayons can keep kids engaged for a while. You can also print out coloring pages related to your destination or the trip.
3. Sticker Books: Sticker books or sticker sheets are a mess-free and fun way to let kids be creative during the flight.
4. Electronic Devices: Tablets or smartphones loaded with age-appropriate games, movies, or educational apps can be a lifesaver. Don’t forget headphones to keep the noise down.
5. Audiobooks and Music: Download audiobooks or music that your child enjoys before the flight. It’s a great way to pass the time and engage their imagination.
6. Interactive Toys: Small, quiet toys like action figures, dolls, or building blocks can keep kids entertained. Look for toys that won’t roll away easily if dropped.
7. Books: Bring some of their favorite books or new ones they haven’t read yet. Consider books with colorful pictures or interactive elements.
8. Travel-Friendly Board Games: Compact travel board games, card games, or magnetic games are excellent for keeping kids entertained.
9. Puzzles: Bring small jigsaw puzzles or brain-teaser puzzles to challenge their minds.
10. Snuggle Items: If your child has a favorite stuffed animal or comfort item, make sure to bring it along for comfort and familiarity.
11. Plan Creative Activities: Encourage drawing, storytelling, or making up games together. For example, you can take turns telling a collaborative story.
12. Window Gazing: If your child is old enough, let them enjoy the view out of the window. Point out interesting landmarks and clouds.
13. Scavenger Hunt: Create a simple in-flight scavenger hunt. Make a list of things your child can spot during the flight, like clouds, the flight attendant, or a certain number of blue seats.
14. Travel Journal: Give your child a travel journal or notebook to document their journey with drawings, notes, and observations.
15. Breaks and Stretching: Make sure to allow time for your child to stretch their legs and walk around the cabin when it’s safe to do so. This can help prevent restlessness.
16. Talk to Them: Engage your child in conversation about the trip, the destination, or anything they find interesting.
17. Comfort and Routine: Maintain their regular routine as much as possible, especially when it comes to sleep and meal times.
