Hellobee Boards

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.

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.

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.

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.

@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

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: http://www.amazon.com/Lauri-2116-Toddler-Tote/dp/B00006JBKT

@lizzywiz: It has been purchased.

@mamimami: so far she's only had them in the grocery store. It is the ONLY WAY I can keep her in the cart.

@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.

@MUI831: I am scared of them since they are round (that's probably just me being neurotic though). I give her these from YumEarth: http://www.amazon.com/YumEarth-Organic-Lollipops-8-5-Ounce/dp/B008CC8XAW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1402346250&sr=8-1&keywords=organic+lollipops

I've never tried any others though.

@78h2o: Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

I was scared of the roundness too.
