4 Effective Tips For Packing For An Overnight Trip With Kids

Kids have plenty of essentials and it can get overwhelming when packing for a trip, especially if you're packing for more than 1 child. Basically, you'll be preparing the same things whether your trip is a day or a week (you'll just be adding more clothes and snacks).

Preparing your children's things for a trip can be quite easy with just a little organization. Here are 4 effective tips for packing for an overnight trip with kids:

Make a list

To make things more organized and to make sure you don't forget anything important, create a list of what needs to be packed beforehand. This is especially helpful if you're packing for more than one child. Highlight the items that you need to get in the last minute (like a favorite toy, juice boxes in the fridge etc.). Cross off items as you pack them in the bag. It's ideal to keep the list and bring it along in your trip so you have somewhere to refer to and make sure you didn't leave anything.

Pack by outfit

This is a cool, neat trick that will make everything easier for an overnight trip (works even better for longer trips!). What you can do is to pack each outfit and place them in separate Ziploc bags. Each bag will contain an entire outfit (including underwear, socks and accessories). Label each bag (Day Outfit 1, Sleepwear etc.) so that it will be easier to pull out what you need from the bag.

Have each child have their own bag

Even if you've packed your kids' things in a very organized way, 3 sets of hands trying to look for stuff in one bag can quickly turn to chaos. Give each child their own bag and remind them that they're responsible for it. Doing so will also teach responsibility to kids.

Involve the kids in the process

One way to get the children excited for the trip is to involve them in the planning and packing process. Show them photos of your destination, tell them what activities are available then ask for their input (what activity they want to do first, what are they most excited about etc.) then ask them to help you pack their things! It can be as simple as choosing the pajamas or what 2 toys they want to bring. This also promotes responsibility in children.

Packing for children for an overnight trip can be fun and easy if you follow these helpful tips!

The Porsche Carrera GT - A Tarmac Abusing Monster!

When Porsche release the 2005 Carrera GT it was clear that this was going to be a road legal race car. But what I have found that what makes the Carrera GT a racing car was not the fact that its got a huge V10 engine which compliments the lightweight carbon fiber structure of the Porsche but its the shear cost of the this car, it is in excess of £200,000 this is what makes the Carrera GT a race car nothing else but a street legal tarmac eating monster! When Porsche introduced the Carrera GT in 2004 they had already got plans on making it the Porsche super car of 2005 but they needed to make more user friendly, they had to make the seats adjustable where as before you could not adjust the height on them but not only that they decided to add some more support in to the seats just to give you that little bit extra comfort while driving to work. The Porsche Carrera GT is so recognizable with its sleek stylish design and being slung on the deck makes it look mean and well you can just ...

Group 44 Dart - The Beginning of an American Road Racing Epic

By the middle 1960s, road racing in America had enjoyed steady growth; spreading from Watkins Glen and Elkhart Lake in the late '40s, to tracks all across the American landscape. Some tracks, like Florida's Sebring circuit, was nothing more than a converted Army Air Corps training field for America's aviators during the Second World War. Other tracks, like California's Riverside Raceway, were purpose built to embrace America's new found affection for a form of motor sport that was inherently European. American auto manufacturers were a bit less willing to embrace this new found love. The middle 1950s was a tragic time in road racing, particularly at Europe's biggest event held every June at Le Mans in France. These tragic occurrences led to the American motor car industry to form a racing ban in 1957, which officially meant that there could be no factory-backed racing efforts for America's auto manufacturers. The manufacturers knew that racing, esp...
