I go for anything that is solid all the way through like a dum dum or a disc shaped lolly although I do keep an eye on things and sometimes when my daughter was smaller I would take it away when it was getting small and I thought the candy might detach. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-in-flight-entertainment-for-little-ones#post-1689443 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 15:40:03 +0000 Mommy Finger 1689443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@78h2o: Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!</p> <p>I was scared of the roundness too. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-in-flight-entertainment-for-little-ones#post-1689440 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 15:39:57 +0000 lizzywiz 1689440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@78h2o: those look good. thank goodness for Prime. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-in-flight-entertainment-for-little-ones#post-1689435 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 15:37:52 +0000 78h2o 1689435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MUI831: I am scared of them since they are round (that's probably just me being neurotic though). I give her these from YumEarth: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/YumEarth-Organic-Lollipops-8-5-Ounce/dp/B008CC8XAW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1402346250&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=organic+lollipops" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/YumEarth-Organic-Lollipops-8-5-Ounce/dp/B008CC8XAW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1402346250&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=organic+lollipops</a></p> <p>I've never tried any others though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-in-flight-entertainment-for-little-ones#post-1689429 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 15:36:48 +0000 Mommy Finger 1689429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Silly questions but what kind of lollipops work best? I honestly can't remember the last time I had one so not sure if there are better ones out there. Just the dum dums? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-in-flight-entertainment-for-little-ones#post-1689421 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 15:34:37 +0000 78h2o 1689421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MUI831: it's so impossible to predict. I did that on my last outbound flight and she stayed up the whole time. I changed it so the return flight would be after nap, and that backfired, maybe even moreso - she was energetic and wanted to RUN! Having to sit made her freak out. My next flight with her is a redeye...way after her bedtime, so that should be interesting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-in-flight-entertainment-for-little-ones#post-1689417 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 15:33:05 +0000 78h2o 1689417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lizzywiz: ooh, that looks like something my LO would like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-in-flight-entertainment-for-little-ones#post-1689415 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 15:32:15 +0000 78h2o 1689415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamimami: so far she's only had them in the grocery store. It is the ONLY WAY I can keep her in the cart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-in-flight-entertainment-for-little-ones#post-1689223 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 14:16:58 +0000 blackbird 1689223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>painters tape and lollipops. adding to the list! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-in-flight-entertainment-for-little-ones#post-1689217 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 14:14:41 +0000 Mommy Finger 1689217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lizzywiz: It has been purchased. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-in-flight-entertainment-for-little-ones#post-1689206 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 14:10:24 +0000 lizzywiz 1689206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamimami: cheap enough to be worth a try and it can double as a bath toy so I figured why not? Got it in the mail and the description is spot on. Haven't tried it with her because want it to be novel but I will try to report back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-in-flight-entertainment-for-little-ones#post-1689201 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 14:08:03 +0000 mamimami 1689201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lizzywiz: That looks amazing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-in-flight-entertainment-for-little-ones#post-1689198 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 14:06:58 +0000 Mommy Finger 1689198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally following as we leave a week from Saturday! We are hedging our bets with an entire season of Daniel Tiger on the tablet. I bought stickers that are various sports themes as he's into balls (my inner 13 yo boy always giggles when I say that) and I have a sort of water doodle thing from M&amp;D. There will be snacks galore. We purposely scheduled the flight during his nap but I'm hoping it doesn't backfire on us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-in-flight-entertainment-for-little-ones#post-1689195 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 14:06:35 +0000 lizzywiz 1689195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the past we had luck with painter's tape- we stuck it places, she stuck it places, fun was had by all and it is easier and cheaper than stickers for the younger babies. She is two, now, though, so I got re-stickable stickers that go on animal scenes, finger puppets and we are trying this for the first time: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Lauri-2116-Toddler-Tote/dp/B00006JBKT" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Lauri-2116-Toddler-Tote/dp/B00006JBKT</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-in-flight-entertainment-for-little-ones#post-1689191 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 14:06:06 +0000 mamimami 1689191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@78h2o: @lizzywiz: Yes, lollipops are amazing. Just be sure to bring a lot of wipes depending on how much your kid slobbers hahaha. But when I traveled with this pair last year, it was all lollies all the time. Want to cry? Have a lolly. Trying to touch stuff? Have a lolly. Going stir crazy? LOLLY. It works hahaha and like @lizzywiz says, it keeps them distracted for long periods of time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-in-flight-entertainment-for-little-ones#post-1689186 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 14:02:54 +0000 lizzywiz 1689186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamimami: Why have I never considered lollipops?!?! Easy, long lasting, a sure hit with the kid- we board the plane next week and these are definitely going with! Thanks :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-in-flight-entertainment-for-little-ones#post-1689164 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 13:46:57 +0000 78h2o 1689164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: yeah, I'm really nervous about our next flight as well. My LO does not like to sit still and does not sleep on me. </p> <p>Honestly, last time I flew with her, I had to work super hard to keep her seated, and even then she still tantrumed much of the time.</p> <p>I brought: Lift the flap books, crayons, stickers, ipad, magna-doodle, magnetic hinge M&amp;D puzzle (don't recommend it, we lost a piece), stacking cups, wind up toys, and snacks.</p> <p>ETA: I also brought a magnetic fishing game... that did keep her busy for awhile.</p> <p>@mamimami: I am totally bringing lollipops next trip... I am not ashamed to use them in emergencies. I also think I might bring some kind of activity, like a piece of paper with holes punched into it and a string to thread through (but huge holes, since she's only 1.5) - she is very determined and will spend a long time on things like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-in-flight-entertainment-for-little-ones#post-1688996 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 12:20:38 +0000 blackbird 1688996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooooo yes.....we're flying with E next month (16 months old) and I am having major anxiety over a 3 hour flight. She doesn't sleep in our arms and is just going to want to get down and harass everyone! And we don't have an ipad. Cue freak out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-in-flight-entertainment-for-little-ones#post-1688987 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 12:17:19 +0000 edelweiss 1688987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>favoriting this because i will be traveling overseas in the fall with my LO who will be 22 months at the time. i'm already scared. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-in-flight-entertainment-for-little-ones#post-1688921 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 11:42:32 +0000 looch 1688921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son likes magnetic play sets, they come in a tin and all the pieces stick to the tin and you can make different variations of things, current favorite is a set of construction vehicles.</p> <p>I also am looking at some "board games" like matching and sorting. I also bought some "tell your own story" story cards, he's just getting into them now.</p> <p>My son's favorite activity is playdough, but I have never brought it on a flight. I haven't found any information if it's even allowed, sealed, of course. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-in-flight-entertainment-for-little-ones#post-1688912 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 11:37:46 +0000 mamimami 1688912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've seen a lot of boards lately about air travel with little kids so I thought I'd start one where we can all share our best in-flight entertainment options for a range of ages.</p> <p>I'll start -- for my 20 m.o. AND my 3.5 y.o.:<br /> - Stickers<br /> - Books (more for the little one to page through)<br /> - Nabi/iPad (more for the older one)<br /> - crayons/coloring books<br /> - Crayola color wonder markers/books<br /> - Snacks, snacks and more snacks and especially...<br /> - LOLLYPOPS! I obviously care about my kids and their sugar intake but these are LIFESAVERS and solve a world of problems.</p> <p>I will be flying next week ALONE with my two kids so I look forward to hearing your secrets for hours of fun that don't involve moving LOL. </p>
