Maybe books that you have to look for stuff, such as where's waldo? There are also Jewish versions.

My younger daughter loved colorforms. If you look around there is a small set for travel - not as cost-effective but a better size for shul. It is worth taking a look for other travel toys and one person games. And I disagree re absolute no food. Obviously she can't eat a pastrami sandwich or a big chocolate cupcake in shul but some hard candies or other very discrete treats and a small water bottle should be fine. You sound like a very in tune mommy and it will be fine.

Interactive books like choose your own ending (what would Darla do) or I spy
Not sure if reusable stickers are muktzah?


Afaik, reusable stickers are not muktzah. Regular stickers are.

Your 6 year old will be able to stay quiet in shul from 9 am until late and not disrupt anyone?
Have you asked your rav if you are required to go to shul this year?

Confused.do you know OP's little girl personally? If not, how do you know what she can or cannot do?

Have your dd pack a small backpack with her favorite stuffed animals, tea cups. trains etc. Call it her "shul bag."

Ofcourse, bring snacks. Lollipops are great as long as you feel they are safe for your dd.
You can also pack a small soft pillow or blanket incase she wants to cuddle with you while you daven.
Does your DD have her own small siddur? If so have her bring one along too.

My children also accompanied me to shul when they were little. We stayed as long as everyone was happy and quiet.

Great memories.

Is it the norm for young girls to come to shul with their mothers on YK, in your shul? Because in mine its not
And frankly, its frowned upon.

Me too! Sweet times. She had one stuffed animal, that we kept for shul only so it was special.

If the child is quiet and isn't bothering anyone, who cares???

YK is a holy day, Shul is a holy place
Children dont belong there on that day (In my shul - that's why I'm asking....)

I have a really good idea. How about if those of us whose children can behave in Shul take them and those of us whose kids can't...don't? It really doesn't make sense for people to have opinions about other peoples' children, shul, etc.

Why not? How does a quiet kid sitting near mom take away from the holiness of the day? Whoever can stay quiet and not disturb others, "belongs" in shul on yom Kippur, no matter the age.

Top Trumps cards. My kids sometimes like to just read through them, even if they're not playing.

Brain Quest decks.

A packet of family photos. My kids love to stare at old family pictures.

The game colour code is also really nice for that age. Doesn’t take up too much space on the table.
