electric cars for kids age 13 image
Jack L
As you know I'm 13 and I need a hobby. I like the outdoors but we live in a subdivision. I thought of doing woodcarving but its a little high in price. Can any of you please help me find something I like and is not too exspensive.
I don't want to do any school clubs or sports though.
Answer
When I was 13, I tried a variety of things. You could try sketching/drawing still life, painting miniatures, check in the trash or your local goodwill store for anything electric/electronic, and see if you can get them working again, or just to see how things work. Building model cars, or you could even check in your local hobby store and ask around as to what other kids of your age enjoy. I myself got into radio control off road racing, but that can get into the thousands of dollars, depending on the type of equipment you buy into. I tried woodcarving too, didn't think it was too expensive, but it wasn't my thing. I never got good at it. I used to carve duck figurines from scrap wood. need a dremel tool, and a couple carving blades, I believe Xacto makes a set. Hope some of these suggestions help. Good Luck to you.

can you take toys and such on a Airplane?

Okay just wondering what you can take on a airplane? My son and i will be flying for the first time, and i have no clue what i can take on board for him to play with? also he is four can i bring his booster seat on as a carry on, for the rental car?
Answer
You're welcome to bring any kind of toy as long as it doesn't look like or could be used as a weapon. Some gel-filled toys are allowed but I think your child is too old for teething rings!
The booster can be brought on but is not allowed to be used on board. Since airline seats don't have shoulder belts, the booster is basically useless for safety and airline seats collapse for emergencies so the only approved seats have hard backs. You can though, bring it and stow it onboard if you don't want to risk it being lost and/or broken in the luggage hold by checking it.
Bring toys on board which
1. Don't make ANY noise. Even a quiet song can drive fellow passengers batty
2. Can be lost without too much grief (replaceable, not expensive, etc.)
3. Can be packed easily (not too heavy, wont break, etc.)
A new toy is a good idea. My son was kept occupied for ages with just a bag of small cars or plastic animals.
Make sure anything electric is fully charged or you have extra batteries with you (yes, they're allowed). Again, no noise. If you take a portable DVD player (and I think he's a bit too young but do what works for you) or electronic game, make sure he is willing to wear the headphones or use it without sound.
At this age, I did better with stickers, coloring items and while my play dough experience was a bit messy, some parents swear by it. Pipe cleaners and pinwheels have also been cited as good toys for flying.
Have him prepare and pack his own backpack and you bring some of the new toys to surprise him.
No one will mind if you read a book to him.
Talk to him about security. This can be a bit intimidating for a child, even more so than the flight itself, which kids usually think is fun.

Explain to him ahead of time about putting his things on the belt, including possibly his shoes.
Here are some other random tips;
-Bring a change of clothes for him.
-Bring an empty sippy cup to fill during the services. This will prevent spills in the air.
-Get up and move around with him but keep an eye out. Those carts the F/A's use are the perfect height for hiding kids
-Bring snacks. Don't fret security. I've never had anything taken away (yes, water but not snacks) and that's the only risk. If you have something not allowed, they simply remove the item. No scenes, no speeches, no arrests!
-Try to sit in a bulkhead seat so that there's no one in front of you
-Bring slippers, especially if you're not in the bulkhead!
Check out a book at the library on flying and read it together. Buy one if you want but I've found plenty in our library and it's a one-time deal. If you live near an airport, even if it's not the one you'll use, perhaps visit it if possible.
At this age, children find flying fun. In my 13 years flying, I never saw an overly anxious child at this age.
Have a good flight!
