The long awaited
year-end holiday is finally here!! That means bringing the family out for a
nice, fun getaway! J Of course, the thought of a family vacation is extremely exciting,
but hold up... We all have to get past the most dreaded part first – packing!
While packing
for the adults may seem an easy task, it takes slightly more effort and thought
to pack for the kids. But no worries, we have thought up a travelling checklist
that mummy and daddy can use as a guideline as to ensure they are well-packed
and ready for their holiday! J
Check List
for Holiday Toiletry Bag!
As we all know
by now, children’s skin are generally more sensitive than a grown up’s skin. So
although hotels and resorts mostly do provide shower foam and shampoo during
your stay, it is still recommended to bring your own shower gels that your kids
are already used to. J
This helps prevent any unnecessary skin reactions to the shower
gels provided by the hotel/resort, providing your family with assurance.
2.
Sunscreen!
Hey, being on holiday
doesn’t mean you can lay off diligently applying sunscreen to your skin!
Sunscreen is still essential when staying outdoors and does a lot more good
than you think! J (Take a look at our previous post to find out why!)
3. Hair Mousse!
Did someone say a
picture? Yes! We are bound to take lots of pictures while on holiday, so when
would be the right time to get a little dressy and stylish if it isn’t now? J Bring along a tube of California Baby Jelly Hair Mousse for your
trip, to settle all your little sweethearts’ bad hair days, and watch as they
rock their stylish new hairdos! J
Diapers… check!
Baby wipes… check! Hold on a second, did you forget to pack in a tube of Diaper Rash Cream? This simple yet essential item is too often forgotten when we are
bombarded with so many things to pack for our kids. However, do not
underestimate the importance of this slim tube of cream… it may just be the
only solution to the painful, uncomfortable itching for your child!
Diaper Rash can be
frustrating to handle – both for the child and the parent. No one wants a jolly
good day to simply be ruined by constant itching and pain right? California Baby Super Sensitive / Therapeutic Relief Diaper Cream can provide immense
relief to your kids suffering from diaper rash. So always remember to bring a
tube along if your child is still using diapers!
5. Toothbrush!
Lastly, toothbrush! As
the toothbrushes provided in hotels and resorts tend to have very big ‘heads’
and stiff bristles, it may hurt your child’s tender gums. Hence, it’s best to
be ready with their own children/baby toothbrushes! J
Of course, now that a large part of the packing
essentials is settled, let’s move on to the fun part!! J No
matter the mode of transport, long railway train rides, ferry rides or even
flights can make your child restless. They will be bored and fidgety, itching
to find someone fun to do! Well, here are some tips mummy and daddy can
consider to occupy and entertain your child on the tedious long journeys. J
Reading is fun and
educational, and helps to kill time while entertaining the little ones, not a
bad deal, yea?
2.
Look for Shapes in the Clouds!
If you’re taking a
flight, and happen to get a window seat, you can consider spotting shapes in
the clouds with the kids! It not only bonds families, it induces kids to
unleash their creativity at the same time. J
3.
Watch a Movie!
In-flight movies are
usually provided free-of-charge for most carriers, so sit your child down and
enjoy a movie together if he or she is getting restless.
Hope the above travel tips are useful for ya!
Happy Holidays from all of us at Shopping Paradise! J
