If your family is like mine, you like to travel too!
We typically do more road trips, which include day trips or trips for just a few days within driving distance. My kids love to fly but it can get costly buying tickets for 5 people.
This past October we flew to California to visit my family. Prepping the kids for a 6 hour direct flight was a tad frightening! The big kids have flown multiple times, even little man, but this was his first time flying while having his own seat.
I knew I wanted them to have an electronic device to play on and while I am a Apple person and love the iPad I knew buying three would not be a cheap purchase. I had also hear great thing about the Amazon kindle for kids, during Amazons “Prime Day” I found the Kindle fire for a great price so I snagged those!
Also at that time I was selling Usborne Books so a few different activity books along with some from Amazon went into their bags.
Thanks to Targets “One Spot” I added in a few activities I knew they would enjoy.
Last but not least SNACKS!! Flying for six hours typically involves snacking not out of hunger all the time, but more than likely out of boredom. I picked out a few of their favorite snacks and candy, some healthy and some not, put them in a Ziplock bag and into their back packs they went.
All of these items were kept safe in our favorite backpacks from Pottery Barn Kids! When the kids were smaller we loved the Skip Hop backpacks and still use them for church. I knew for the plane they would need larger bags and these worked out perfect!
What are some of your favorite items when traveling with kids?
