We try not to rely on electronics to entertain our kids on the airplane, so it is essential that I stock up on some good games to play on the airplane (and a few new books) in order to keep them entertained during long trips.
I purchased a few great puzzle games to add to our arsenal of travel games for our flight across the country last week. They were big hits with with my son, so of course I thought of sharing them with you! (Affiliate links included below)
Magnetic Sudoku (pictured in top photo). My son adores sudoku and this game is much lighter than toting around a big book of puzzles. I like that the 40 puzzles can be recycled over and over for different people. No need to erase!!
Yes, this is a terrible photo
Peg Game. (above left) Watch out! This old school game is highly addictive for grown-ups who feel they should be scoring at the “*WOW* Genius” level, but are only scoring “Just So-So”. … Um. … Er. … Not that I know anyone like this.
Kanoodle (above right) is a challenging brain twister that can be played as a 2-D or 3-D puzzle. Super addictive, especially at the higher level puzzles.
How do you keep your kids busy and happy on the plane?
Happy Travels!
P.S. These games would be great for restaurants, too.

Thanks for the ideas! Daughter is just now getting into Sudoku, so it might come handy. However… I admit that we plan to get an iPad just in time for our summer travels 🙂 Where did you go?
