Settling in for hours of air travel? Help mix things up for your kids by offering as many types of activities as cramped seating allows. When books and I Spy run dry, these apps cover a wide variety of interests and ages to keep everyone happy and occupied. Together, play virtual board games, create books, or solve word puzzles. In the mood to play alone? Have kids try sandbox-style games or puzzle apps to keep them interested -- and thinking. Whether you're playing as a family or your kid's playing solo, you're bound to find something for everyone from one airport to the next.
