What are we giving our babies to entertain themselves when in public.

We order right away for starters. If we can, we don’t put her in the highchair right away. We’ll walk around if possible. We will bring a few toys. Sometimes we’ll give her the creamer and sugar packs and let her stack them. We have a little activity book too.
Everything. Spoons, forks, & straws are fun. Coloring works until she tries to eat it. Cars are cool when you push them back and forth. Wipes to clean the table or something she can put things in and pull them out. Basically, it's something new every few minutes or so. Sometimes, all she really wants is to dump her ice cold water in her lap :/ Yay, independence.
Whenever I go out anywhere, I try to keep her favorite snacks on hand so she can sit still or at least wait for the food to arrive while she eats some of it. I bring berries, crackers, puffs. I don’t bring toys because they end up on the floor. We sing her favorite songs and her using a pacifier also helps.
