I've been on a plane with Rachel many times, the last trip was last year and she was only 1 and I could control her with cookies [basically treats], and the kids channel on the airplane's tv.

However, now she is going on 3 and she is a heck of a lot more active and I'm a little scared of tantrums [she doesn't really throw them], screaming, jumping around... basically being out of control.

I'll be going from Ontario to Alberta. The trip to the airport will be about 4 hours then the flight there will be another 4 hours [I think?].

So if you have any ideas or suggestions on what to bring to keep an active 2 year old steady on a flight I'll be more than appreciative!

Side note: I leave to the airport at midnight, so I know she will be sleeping on the way there.

Thanks!

Hey - sometimes the classics are the best. My kids still play candyland and 'club each other in the head with whatever stick is handy'

Old skool baby!
