No Hassle Travel Toys

Recently we took Rocky and Sophie to visit grandma and grandpa on the east coast and had to figure out how to keep a 5 month and 2 year old content on a 5 hour flight.  I searched for toys that would be easy to pack and didn't involve too many lose pieces.  I avoided noisy toys in consideration of my fellow passengers (I figured a little bit of crying should be all they have to endure).  I was lucky and found these two great items.  An airplane tray cover toy by Star Kids, it just slips right over the tray and it has activities on both sides to appease a child regardless if the tray is upright or down.  they items is extremely light and easy to back.

The second item was a magnetic activity board by Melissa & Doug.  This item was great, no pieces to lose and it kept Rocky entertained quietly for hours.  It's basically a magnetic want attached to the board by a string and you use it to move apples from one barrel to another on the board.  It practices fine motor skills and counting.  So if you're traveling soon with your child, try one of these two items.  An extra tip would be to keep it hidden until you're ready to bring it out on the flight.  New and never seen toys are the best!
