FREE. Not much about traveling is free. But these handy Play-Doh printables are not only free, but they will also keep little hands busy, and take up very little room in your carry-on, as do these small Play-Doh tubs.
Printing & laminating the printables and buying a few tubs of Play-Doh takes no time at all and will make flying with children, even toddlers, fun, in turn meaning less stress for you on the flight. Score!
You can, of course, just take the laminated sheets and stuff them in your carry-on bag, but even better, make a binder – it’ll make it even easier for you in flight.

How To Assemble Your Play-Doh Printables
Use a hole punch to make holes in each activity sheet, and place them into the binder. That’s it. Take your binder, and enjoy your in-flight movie as your children enjoy the Play-Doh kit.
