The boxes

Airplane Activities by Age · 0–8.

Screen-free airplane activities for kids, sorted by age. Every Parcel Air box holds four wrapped parcels, numbered in order, opened one at a time after takeoff. Everything fits a tray table, nothing liquid, nothing sharp. $68 across every tier, and in-stock boxes ordered by 12pm PT ship the same day. Under 2 · Ready to Fly. Soft, washable, and safe for a flyer who puts everything in their mouth. You pace the parcels; the novelty does the rest. Ages 3 to 4 · Little Passenger. Small parts stop being a hazard and start being the point: a wooden car, crayons with a reusable sticker scene, a magnetic tin, a board book. Ages 4 to 6 · Young Explorer. For the kid who already has opinions about where they are going: something to build, something to play, something to make and be proud of. Ages 6 to 8 · The Navigator. Built for the child who has outgrown activity books: a kit with a real finish, a browsable book, a game for the row, a make saved for descent. Right on a boundary? Pick by the kid you have this month, not the birthday on the form. Not sure? Write to hello@parcelair.co with the age and the flight, and we will tell you which box.

Between two ages? Go up a box for a long-haul flight and down for a short hop.

The one rule

Wait until wheels up.

The box stays sealed until the plane leaves the runway. Then one parcel at a time, all the way to landing.

How it works →

Booked well ahead?

The holding pattern.

Order now and add your flight date. We keep it on our shelf and ship it about two weeks before you fly.

How it works →

Sending it to someone?

Made to be given.

Add a note and we'll write it by hand, ship it straight to them, and leave the invoice out of the box.
