[quote=Anonymous]I thought entertainment on planes at that age was pretty easy.  We once entertained DD for 30 minutes with the barf bag by making it into a puppet.  Hotel shower caps also can be quite entertaining.  In general, I'd recommend books, Post-It notes/tape flags (you can peel them off of things), and another two or three small, noiseless toys that they like.  You can wrap things, put them in boxes, or put them in Ziplock bags.  Any of those things make for their own fun treat.

At 12 months, we got DD a special monkey backpack that is only for airplanes and only can be opened once we're on the plane.  It is full of "surprises," by whoh I mean cheap, rand things that we can lose and not worry about (stickers, post-it notes, pipe cleaners, cheap sticker books, a notepad, paperback picture books, crayons from restaurants, etc.).

DD is three now and sees planes mostly as a way to watch more TV than we ever allow (30-60 minutes/week unless she does something to lose the privilege, which she often does,), but she still loves the backpack and usually uses it for some portion of the flight.[/quote]
