I am wondering if anyone could give me an advice for traveling on an international flight with a baby and a preschooler? I am planning a trip to visit my family in Thailand at the beginning of next year. My children will be 3 years old, and 4 months old. It is scaring to think about being alone with 2 little ones on a 20 hours flight from US to Thailand. Please let me know. I need an advance suggestions to prepare. Which airline is the best for traveling with the children?


Answer
bring some toys (noiseless ones would be very much appreciated by fellow flyers). Try to time your babies feeding so that it is happening during take off. Helps stop ears from popping and therefore no crying.

Bring books to read for them, snacks are good too. you may want to bring a comfy pillow for your toddler as the ones on the plane aren't comfy.

20 hour is an insanely long flight for them. wow! good luck. But just try to bring as many comforts of home and as many things to keep them amused as possible.

Good luck!

What is a good activity to go along with trail mix?

I need a good preschool age appropriate activity that goes along with the snack of trail mix. I was thinking something on the lines of traveling. It can be a file folder or craft pretty much anything that will take longer than 5 minutes. any idea or websites would be great! thanks!


Answer
Hello Alyssa.

You use a snack of Trail Mix, when?
Why of course...when you are on a hike
Are you able to take a hike (walk) outside anywhere?
There all sorts of themed hikes you can do with your preschoolers.

One I love is to have several students pick out a favorite toy or crayon. Using those items, try to find those colors while on your walk.

Another is to have them stop, look, listen at various points. Leading them to certain "FINDS" - ie a bird in a nest singing, a bird in the tree, a squirrel, a leaf, a pine cone, a fish in the water, a duck, etc. They can then come in and draw or color what they Found while on their discovery walk.

You could also set up an outside trek - where you have to jump over the river (two jumpropes), crawl under a ___ (anything low lying) , go into a cave (a box - open eneded), climb a huge rock - etc... use your imagination with it...anything can be fun.
