Turns out “Busy Bags” do in fact keep a toddler busy in a bustling airport. So too does running and squealing up and down the concourse and riding down and back in the moving walkways as if they were an amusement park ride.
I probably packed too many activities, especially considering that Aurora was content to smash “BOOM!” directly into the waiting area seats, but I have been trapped in airport terminals too often for me to trust that all will proceed as planned. So I assembled busy bags.
Busy bags are marvelously simple. They are handy for doctors’ offices, car rides, and airports. Simply place a small quiet activity in a Ziplock. Ta da!
