Who loves to travel with their little's!!
We try to make 2 longer week long trips during the year and several weekend getaways throughout the year. This year however we bought a camper, travel trailer for those into camping. So we will be doing a lot more getting away this summer and hopefully into spring. The one thing I try to get my little involved with is packing.
This is my mom hack for packing with little's for travel.
Packing list that they get to help out with. I have a saved power point picture document of the items she needs to collect and I just change the number of items she needs for each trip. Now that she's more accustomed to it its much smoother and she can't wait for me to print it. She knows when she's picking shirts and shorts that they need to match, and she's not just accumulating 5 shirts to have 5 shirts. I have her set all her items out on her bed- like the power point picture, and mom or dad review to make sure she has everything and we make adjustments if necessary. ( like bringing a Easter dress to a camp ground ). I make sure to have extras for the occasional accidents or girls just need to change on a whim.
Sometimes the list will include just clothes, and sometimes it will have toothbrush, toothpaste, hairbrush, bows, brush, books, toys, dolls, etc.
Here is an example of one that I used as guide. I have modified mine to have pictures of 'girls' clothes , and the types of clothes my daughter has in her closet. Example dresses - I put a picture of a play dress or church dress. I type in the numbers vs filling in them in like this sheet.
Here's an example some other moms have made for general packing lists for camping with kids.
Have fun !!
Excellent
