Kids need some things too…

Except for infants and toddler, a bit grown up children can be occupied with a few meaningful things. Definitely not that ipad or android game or movie you may be thinking of!

• Activity books, if you have any
• Sketch book and some coloring/drawing kit – small one
• Card games
• Ball, Frisbee, Kite
• Extra set of clothes, if you think required
• A towel

Never know, you just might need these

• Toilet paper roll
• Flushable wipes (other wetwipes are not bio degradable)
• Soap
• Medicine for loose motions
• Medicine for motion sickness, should you need one

Add a bit of luxury

• spread, to lie down for a bit longer
• a little blanket for the early morning ride
• a pillow feels so comfortable in the vehicle
• that little soft toy

Before you leave home, check the obvious…

• All doors and windows closed?
• Balcony clothes safe, will not fly away?
• Taps closed? don’t want your neighbour to call you for a overflowing home!
• Clothes iron off ? Very rarely, but it can happen!
• Wi-Fi modem off? Unless your neighbour is hooked to it.
