Spring break, winter holiday, or summer vacation means it’s road trip time! Photo-ready scenery, jam-worthy playlists, and memory-making fun is on the itinerary, but it’s not always smooth sailing. Traveling with littles means lots of prep for anything your kiddos might need, and we’ve got just the ticket for any situation! Whether you’re travelling by car, train, or plane, these tips for traveling with kids will make your travels more pleasant.
1. Pack snack boxes
Say goodbye to hanger and hello to satisfied children with a DIY snack box! Fill a compartmental box with a mix of sweet, salty, and savory snacks that even picky littles will love. This simple prepped food means fewer snack stops and less tummy-rumbling as you travel with kids. Some great snack options include:
- Apple slices
- Mandarin oranges
- Celery sticks
- Crackers
- Grapes
- Sliced cheese/string cheese
- Deli meat
- Dried fruit
- Homemade wolfberry bars
- Popcorn
- Blueberries
- Carrots
- Nuts/seeds
Disclaimer: Be sure to cut and portion out these snacks according to the guidelines for your child’s age to avoid any potential accidents.
2. Bring a designated trash can
Avoid the hassle of picking brown apple cores or other trash out of your car’s cup holders by keeping a small trash bag or container on each row of your vehicle. This way everyone has easy access to throw their garbage away instead of making a mess. A clean environment is a happy environment, especially when traveling with children!
If you’ll be travelling by plane, it’s also a “neat” idea to prep a small trash bag to keep messes at bay in between flight attendant visits. Plus, pack your Thieves® Wipes to clean any messes quickly and easily!
3. Keep kids entertained
Keep family travel screen free with these interactive activities! Simply print out the activity PDFs and bring them with you on your trip. For easy organization, store them in upcycled school folders so your kiddo can keep their papers in one place.
