Travelling with children can be a large undertaking.
Packing Checklist
Routine:Children like routine.
As much as travel can be exciting, it can also be difficult for some.
Take extra sheets and sleep sacs with you in case of sickness or a diaper blow out.
When you arrive, venture to keep the evening routine and environment as consistent as possible.
When packing toiletries think beyond the everyday items as well.
Food:Snacks are always a great idea for kids.
A bento style box allows for a variety of several small snacks or even a meal.
If you dont have access to a fridge, then investing in a plugin cooler is a great idea.
This also provides an option to transport any perishable specialty/allergy friendly items that you need.
If so, plan to do one load of light-colored laundry and one of dark halfway through your holiday.
I recommend rolling clothing as this tends to take up less space.
Road Trip Tips
When preparing for a road trip remember to bring a lot of snacks.
This helps to prevent car sickness and keeps their minds distracted from how long the trip is taking.
you could ask them to choose a color and set a timer for 5 minutes.
Then see how many cars they see in their chosen color before the timer goes off.
Your children will have so much fun that they wont even realize how much they are learning.
Air Travel Tips
Travelling on a plane is about more than just the actual plane ride.
Then once you are at the airport things will run smoothly if you have planned ahead.
These unplanned times provide opportunities to teach your children about patience, resilience, and problem solving.
These will capture your special moments to look back on someday!
