The more activities you can fit in your bag on the better. Keep your little ones as busy as possible at a restaurant so you can enjoy adult conversation. Here are some of my favorite go-to activities when we are eating out.
Quiet Book
Quiet books or busy books are designed to engage kids and keep them busy with activities that don’t make sound. We love ours!
Dry Erase Placemat
This is a huge help. I keep it in my bag so the only time they get to play with it is in the restaurant or on a trip. Makes it more exciting and not old hat for them. Also great to put food on instead of a plate that the baby or toddler might accidentally pull to the ground.
Water Wow
Water Wow books come in travel size and larger size. These are great for plane rides, restaurants, doctors offices, and so much more.
The Peaceful Plane
Most of us forget or don’t have the time to discuss our expectations in advance with our children. That’s why I wrote The Peaceful Plane. You are doing story time every day anyway. Might as well kill two birds with one stone and set expectations for flight etiquette and behaviors well in advance.
Wiki Sticks
These wax sticks are great for the home and on outings. Enjoyed by little ones and big kids you can form any shape and are fun to touch.
Headphones
Does your child use headphones at home to watch his or her ipad? If not, try to have them practice using them so it’s not a shock when they realize they have to use them on the plane.
Window Clings
Kids love stickers. I do not. They get stuck to my furniture and the bottoms of my shoes. But Jes Play window clings answered my prayers. They are removable window stickers. They fell cool to the touch and are great for the plane, restaurants, earning rewards and so much more.
