PRINTABLE KIDS PACKING LIST
We recently took a short trip away and I decided it was time for Lucas to start packing for himself.
I sent him to his room with the request 'please pack your bag for our trip away'. You know he came back with a pile of toys and 2 t-shirts.
Hmm...might need to make that request a little more specific. I get that I need to help him to learn, but if I stand beside him and tell him what to pack will he actually learn? Will I be able to do it without losing my patience?
Then it hit me - the answer is a packing list. For him - and for me. It's the things that I run through in my mind as I'm packing. So I can use it and not forget anything, or I can give it to him and he can learn to pack for himself.
This is a list that I have come up with, of the most common things we pack. When I asked the crew on Facebook if I had forgotten anything we had some great responses. Many I included in the finished list ( because I had forgotten a few!)
Some things were not added to our list. Such as..
- Kids Panadol or other medication.
- Nightlight
- Dresses, if packing for a girl
- Snacks
We have left a few spaces at the bottom for you to add some extra things that you want to pack.

We live (and love) what we do here at Lucas loves cars - so I wanted to show you the activities and toys we took away on the trip we just took.
Lucas loves carsI always love to take the Tiger Tribe Activity sets with us. It's great for on a plane, at a cafe, or in the hotel when someone is bored in the afternoon. Brilliant because it has colouring in but also has the textas!
Do you have something that you would add to this list? Should we make a small kid version with nappies and wipes?
