AIRPLANE toys I would 100% recommend
14
items I’ve taken two long trips with my kids in the last year and had to branch out for my youngest. He was almost 2 on one trip, and almost 3 on the second trip. These are things I would definitely use again and would recommend to a friend.

Airplane TOYS
I LOVE this toy. Fun for all ages as a fidget/sensory toy. The older they are, the longer they play with it.
Sensory Fidget Toys for Kids, Silicone Board, 15 Strings (Green)
These are SO fun! They’re quiet, can squish into a carry on, and the sensory aspect is amazing. Even as an adult I think squeezing and pulling on them is fun.
Goliath Jelly Blox Creative Kit - 20 Blocks
Any age could use this, but I’d say ages 5+ could figure it out without an adult.
Spark & Wow Calm Down Threading Boards Set
I have bought these twice because they are GREAT. They are pieces of yarn dipped in wax - you can bend them into a shape and they will stay! My only complaint is that they make your hands sticky and they pick up animal hair. But that’s not a product ...
Wikki Stix Arts & Crafts Triple Play Pack, 144 Ct
Specifically the BLANK paper. You can print whatever you want on these, or cut them into half sheets to take up less room.
Crayola Color Wonder Mess Free Pages 50ct
You can only use these on color wonder paper. These are great for situations where you do NOT want your kids to make a mess. Airplane, church, restaurant, drs offices, etc.
Crayola Color Wonder Marker Refill Set 20ct
These tiny erasers are such a good size for a random toy for planes. The only thing is they come apart. I SUPER GLUED these together so they were one solid animal.
Pen+Gear Eraser Pals, Animals, 25 Count
GREAT for 2-3 year olds! They’re just sticky enough to stick on the airplane tray table but they don’t leave residue or anything.
Reusable Puffy Sticker Book for Kids - 80+ Stickers, Toddler Travel Toy
Fidget toy with multiple options that’s not loud or distracting to others ✅
Fidget Dodecagon 12-Side Stress Relief Toy
Travel magnet tiles!!!! I thought they would be too loud for a plane, forgetting how loud the ambient noise of a plane is 😆
Magnetic Tiles Yellow Tin - Gigglescape™: Educational Toy for Creativity & Fine Motor Skills, 20 Pieces Set
This version is good for toddlers. I also like the version with the stylus!!!
Boogie Board Scribble n’ Play LCD Drawing Board
Airplane TOOLS
Not the fanciest, but you don’t need an expensive container for a snackle box. I’ve had these for 2 years and they’ve worked great
Ozark Trail Medium Plastic Tray Fishing Tackle Box 3600, Green
These have a nice big opening - I filled the compartments with Cheerios, peanuts, and candy. We are in survival mode when we’re traveling y’all.
Cute Pill Dispenser with 7 Large Compartments
I’m not buying expensive headphones when they’ll likely break. These worked great, I love that they fold up!
Kids Wired Headphones w/ Mic, 85dB/94dB Volume
