Tutorial: Airplane Tray Activity Center

If your holiday plans include traveling with small children, this Airplane Tray Activity Center might be what you need. Trina from Will Cook for Shoes shares a tutorial at Sew Mama Sew showing how to make one. It slides over an airplane tray table, and turns it into an activity center for small hands. Included on the activity center are pockets to hold crayons and a small notebook, a zipper, a set of small plush shapes, and a snack bag. These would be easy enough to change up to suit your child’s age and interests. Click below to go to her tutorial at Sew Mama Sew:
