These coloring books are great, especially for little ones because they only need to use one marker and see the magic happen. It’s also great for parents to not have to keep track of lots of coloring pencils/markers.

Similar to magic ink coloring books, these are great because it doesn’t have lots of pieces to it and it can keep them entertained for a long time, especially if you’re traveling with more than one kid so they can play guessing games with each other.

Unlike the two items above, this requires a little bit of parenting oversight just so the pieces don’t get everywhere but the big perk is that it can keep your little one busy and sitting still(ish) for quite a while!

Stickers are amazing! Kids can get so involved and creative with them. You can get reusable stickers like these, which are so fun and you could hopefully keep using it along your trip and on the flight back! Dot stickers can also be really fun, believe it or not. They can “decorate” the plane with them and they’re easy to come off when it’s time to clean up.

Books are always a great idea but interactive books are so great and can keep them interested for a good while.

Even if you try to avoid screentime on your day to day routine, they are definitely a lifesaver on trips. You can easily download videos and movies beforehand to watch offline as well as some fun and even educational apps. Check out our blog post here on the 5 best apps for travel with kids.
