The 2Live Crew is gearing up for their first flight to the Caribbean, and I\u2019ve been gearing up ways to keep them entertained for the length of our 4 hour flight. After seeing Danielle\u2019s toddler road trip box<\/a> for her son Sesame on Mamademics, I shamelessly copied her idea and put together these in-flight travel activity kits for my busy boys.<\/p>\n Although grandma has already bought them each a tablet, and Jet Blue offers tons of DIRECTV options at each seat (including Disney Junior, Nick Jr and ABC Family), I wanted to bring different options for the boys to keep them from becoming those<\/em> kids. While we\u2019re soaring at 35,000 feet, the 2Live Crew will open their travel activity kits and:<\/p>\n Color in their Play Packs and coloring books.<\/strong> Triangle shaped Crayola crayons will keep them from rolling off of the airplane tray tables and under the feet of our fellow travelers.<\/p>\n Play with transportation themed toys.<\/strong> Get hands on.<\/strong> Make use of grandma\u2019s gift.<\/strong> Snack on healthy stuff. <\/strong> Plum Organics<\/a> was nice enough to send over some healthy snacks for the 2Live Crew! All Jet Blue flights provide snack options like Terra Blue Chips, Keebler\u00ae Elf Grahams, and Skeeter\u2122 Nut-Free chocolate chip cookies, but Plum\u2019s whole grain Mighty Sticks, Jammy Sammy sandwich bars, and Mashups applesauce are all organic and made with fruits and vegetables.<\/p>\n And drink in style.<\/strong> These reusable bottles are practically unbreakable, because they\u2019re made from shatterproof Tritan! The flip top spout is tough against biting, so the boys won\u2019t be able to chew them up, and they\u2019re easy to clean.<\/p>\n And of course, grandma will be just down the aisle.<\/p>\n Have you made travel activity kits for your children?<\/p>\n We\u2019re prepared for takeoff!

\nCheck out Socamom.com for tips from Caribbean moms on keeping children on their best behavior in the air<\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n
\nTarget\u2019s dollar spot had these cool Grab & Go Play Packs<\/a> featuring the boys\u2019 favorite cartoon characters. They each come with a pack of crayons, coloring pages, and stickers. We\u2019ve used them during church services to ward off boredom.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>
\nThe boys love playing with things that go. A planes, trains, and cars magnet playset<\/a> will keep them busy and get them excited about our trip. It\u2019s got three pages of magnets that they can stick on the inside of the tin.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nPlay-Doh is great for squishing and using their imaginations. I\u2019m throwing in a Play-Doh party pack in their favorite colors (although The Emcee\u2019s favorite color has changed every day this week<\/em>).<\/p>\n
\nTheir tablets come loaded with kids\u2019 activities, but they won\u2019t disturb their cabin mates (or their eardrums) with headphones made for little ears. Volume limiting headphone<\/a>s lower the audio on connected devices to about 80% of the max volume\u2013 a full 20 dB lower to protect their little ears.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n

\nJet Blue offers orange, cranberry or apple juice, but sometimes the boys don\u2019t hold their juice boxes \u201cby the wings.\u201d Did you know about this cool parenting hack<\/a>?<\/em> To keep them from spilling on their clothes, we\u2019re using Zak\u2019s Tritan bottles<\/a>. I don\u2019t know about your kids, but mine have never met a straw they couldn\u2019t destroy.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n
