Here’s another hot tip from the Tipnut Mailbag, it was sent in by Jennifer:

I started doing this when my daughter was about 1. When traveling I always take a blow up beach ball. During rest stops or while waiting for a flight I blow up the beach ball and let her have some fun. We’ve made lots of friends this way, and it gives her some “run around” time instead of “run away from mommy” time. When it’s time to go, just deflate the ball and tuck it into your purse or bag!

Happy Traveling!

What a simple, yet great idea! The ball deflates and packs away nicely so it doesn’t get in the way. Plus it gives the little one a chance to run off some steam and have some fun after being cooped up and strapped in while traveling.

Thanks for sharing that Jennifer :).
