Flying tips with TWO 22 month olds !! :)

[Boygirltwinsmom]

Hi All!

I just found this great site and thought I could get some good advice.
I have 22 month old fraternal twins and we are flying from Florida to Seattle at the beginning of next week. My mother is coming with me and each of them will be sitting on our laps. Do any of you know any ways to keep them occupied for an over 5 hour flight?
I already have colored pencils and notepads and snacks, but I don't think everybody else will enjoy our rendition of Wheels on the Bus or Itsy Bitsy Spider 9,000 times! :)

Any special things I should know about their ears? They have been on a plane twice already but were still using bottles then...do I need to be concerned?

Thanks for the help in advance!! :) :)

Drugs??? LOL

Welcome aboard..this is a great place. Do they like music or books on tape? Get some cheap walkmans and tapes. Have them suck on some juice boxes on take off and landing. Magna doodles are fun.
Good luck.

Stickers, small action figures (rescue heroes?? Barbie??), books, lollipops for take-off/landing, hmmm...there was alot of good ideas given on this board a short time ago. Just some of the past threads.

Sippy cups, small little surprise toys that they haven't played with before or in a while (I sometimes have even wrapped them to make it a bigger deal), Etch a Sketch, markers and paper, snacks, lift the flap books, View Masters? Good luck! :) And, welcome to a great site!! :)
