The winter holidays are almost here, so it’s time to get organised for your kids new adventures! Whether you choose to take them on a family ski trip, send them to camp or leave them with their grandparents, you’ll be needing a few essentials to be well organised.
Our advice for going on holiday?
Petit-Fernand helps you with your everyday life as a parent, including organising your holidays. A stay at a summer camp or at a grandparent’s house should be prepared in advance and well organised.
Step 1: Label children’s clothes and belongings
Label all your children’s clothes and objects to help them find their belongings amongst other children’s in a communal lifestyle. Ideally suited for every kind of school trip or holiday camp, our special holiday camps and ski trips value pack comprises 160 labels (self-adhesive and iron-on)for clothings, belongings and shoes. If you want everything to remain identifiable down to the tiniest thing, simply place them on all your belongings: T-shirts, swimming costumes, sunglasses, toothbrushes, trousers, caps, etc.
Step 2: Organise your child’s suitcase
Organising your child’s belongings can quickly become a real nightmare! They often have (too) many things, that end up scattered everywhere veeery quickly!! But no need to panic, we’ve thought of everything! Toothbrushes, toothpaste and hairbrushes will fit perfectly in our lovely customisable toiletry bag made of organic cotton.
At the same time you can customise and order one or more personalised cotton bags available in different sizes. Size S will be ideal to store all the little jewels, hair slides, scrunchies and tiny accessories your little one loves. Size M can be useful to store underwear and indispensable little toys… No more socks lying around, at last! And finally size L will be wonderful to hold your child’s dirty laundry.
Step 3: Prepare the departure
The suitcase is closed, everything has been labelled… It’s time to hit the road! Be it a family air trip or car trip, it often feels sooo long! So for everybody’s wellbeing, always carry a personalised isothermal water bottle with you, the essential item for all trips and outings.
Now when your little one becomes hungry, or craves a snack or a sandwich, you’ll be super glad to have it all stored in your 100% personalised lunchbox for kids! It’ll keep all the food and drinks cool for a few hours thanks to an ice pack, an intermediate box and two removable containers. It’ll be just the amount of time you need to reach your destination or next stop.
Our tips for organising your air travel
Planning to go to a distant destination? Going on a getaway to the Seychelles or hiking in the mountains of Reunion Island? There’s lots you can do with your children, even if it means hours and hours of flying. Don’t panic, here are some tips to help you preparefor a plane trip with kids.
First, choose loose, casual clothes (pyjamas, jogging suits, sweatshirts) and shoes that are easy to slip on. Your child may be walking around the plane regularly, stretching their legs or going to the toilet. So they have to be comfortable.
During take-off and landing, it’s a good idea to give them a dummy so they’re forced to swallow. This stops them feeling the difference in pressure as much and prevents earache.
Take some games to keep everybody amused such as books, colouring books, markers and other quiet games that will help you keep your children as quiet as a mouse. Many airlines also provide screens playing cartoons.
And if you’ve got a baby, consider asking for a carrycot that you can hang right in front of you. This means you can look after your baby while you are in your seat.
