If you haven't played with an Aquadoodle yet, you're missing out. The pens are filled with water, so they only draw on the board and are mess free! The doodle board takes a little bit to dry, but it's a great thin toy and you can't beat the mess-free aspect of it. I would recommend buying an extra pen or two, just in case you drop one and it rolls away. They're pretty cheap, and it's definitely worth it.

2. Wood (string) blocks

 The blocks above are Melissa & Doug, but I actually found ours in the $3 section at Target, score! I loved that I found cheaper ones. It lessens the pain a little when you lose a few on the plane. These ones aren't toooo pricey, and are a great busy-game for the little ones.

3. Snack/everything bags

So these aren't really a toy or game, but I used these for the blocks above. Our little one isn't able to actually string the blocks yet, so I had two of these bags, one full of blocks and the other for her to move the blocks into the empty bag. She loves to take anything out of anything, so these were perfect  to keep her busy for a while. These bags are great to store anything like toys, snacks, markers, anything! The inside is lined and they are easily cleanable.

4. Window gel clings

We tried these for the first time on our last flight. They are super cute and the idea is fabulous, but my one year old just thought they were snacks haha We ended up giving them to a little boy we met on the plane who was as busy and active as Saydee, but a little older. He loved them! They are perfect to stick on the window, magazines or the tray table and are easily removable. I know Saydee will love these when she realizes they aren't to eat ;)

5. Jellycat books

I, I mean, Saydee loves these Jellycat books! These are soft and have the adorable tails hanging off the sides to touch and feel. You can find a bunch of different ones with cute, silly tails. I love that these are soft and you are able to squish them into a bag and they won't take up much room.
