Hello all,
I am getting ready to take a flight to Hawaii with DS. My problem, he is a VERY active little boy and gets bored super easy which is followed with tears and etc. I am trying to find things that will entertain him on the plane. I have already loaded 2 baby Einstein videos (as much as I do not want him to watch TV this definitelygrabs his attn).....so that covers about 40 minutes of my 5 1/2 hour flight. Thoughts, ideas HELP! He is a few days from 6 months old.
TIA ladies
Re: Entertainment needed
Yay! Have fun!
Well...DD is super entertained by just about everything these days. She looooves books, anything that makes noise when she smacks or shakes it (probably annoying for other folks on the plane, but less annoying than a screaming baby), sparkly things. Hopefully some other folks have more ideas because I don't think I'm much help! It's a shame they don't have a spot on the plane for floor play, haha. DD would roll herself around in circles the entire flight.
We flew with DD to Manila when she was 5.5 months old. Her seat had a video monitor but she definitely had zero interest in watching it anyways. The flight was incredibly exhausting because she was either being walked around the plane or nursing pretty much the whole time.
I'm all about bringing as little as possible but if that isn't your style I've heard to bring a different toy for each hour of the flight.
