Tips to entertain a (fussy) toddler on a 2 hours plane ride?

pack a special little backpack with small new items that you can give him every 15 minutes to hold his attention and keep him busy.... try easy to peel off felt stickers and a notebook to stick them to, Crayola's magic paper with the special markers (no mess), a small toy airplane that looks like the one you're on, a new toy like a sesame street doll or whatever he is into, etc. Also, be sure to bring some special snacks.... fruit snacks or roll-ups, his favorite crackers or even a cookie or two. This isn't the time to be overly picky about the food- you just want him entertained and quiet for the flight, right?! And although I don't usually condone medicating for non-medical reasons, one little dose of Benadryl if he can't calm down will not hurt him. Your fellow passengers will thank you and you can have an enjoyable flight, too! Have a great trip!
