What you need
What to do
- When you’re getting ready to go out somewhere you'd usually take a bag with you, for instance a grandparent’s home or a day trip, ask your toddler to help you pack.
- Tell your toddler where you’re going and describe what you’ll do if they’re not familiar with the place.
- Let them fetch things for the bag, which will mean getting ready might take a little more time but if you plan for this you will both really enjoy it.
- If your toddler isn’t sure what they need chat together about the things they would usually take with them.
