You can also play "I Spy" on a picture page in the magazine. Try the dollar store! They have activity books and little water sport games they can concentrate on getting the little ringed objects onto the poles using the buttons to push the water . Really cute and inexpensive. Trail mix also works for a snack.danchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03692260384153632989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101941959722290566.post-990092331152820172010-03-31T07:56:59.797-07:002010-03-31T07:56:59.797-07:00Try The kind of boards you can "erase" y...Try The kind of boards you can "erase" your picture and start over (like a magna doodle). Comes in handy when playing tic tac toe and other writting games like "Add to mine" you start the picture by drawing an object and then pass to the next person they add a related object (or not) to yours and you keep going till you can or can't tell what the picture is about. You can even end by telling a shared story about the picture!:)You can also practice your ABC's and numbers. Snack suggestion: nuts or popcorn (no chocolate! it melts and the added caffine is NOT a good thing for confined spaces.:) I also let the kids take turns sitting by the window (if they want to) and they can share quietly what they see and wonder how high up they really are and marvel at what wonderful things God created and how different it all looks like from up so high. Maybe try to draw a picture of what they see ( taking turns). On some planes, there is a video game board on the backs of the seats. It only cost about $5.00 and they can play games for the entire flight. Ask a stewardess if they have age appropriate ones your kids could play. <br />Hope this helps!<br />Much Love!<br />Grandma Darlenedanchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03692260384153632989noreply@blogger.com
