Tested Tips for Kid-Friendly Travel

Have you noticed that family vacations are not actually very relaxing? Travel time, different foods and accommodations, and disruptions to your finely-tuned family sleep schedule can make vacations downright exhausting. Should you scrap your vacation plans? Of course not! Family vacations offer the opportunity to bond together, learn about each other, learn about the world around you, have fun, and make memories that will last a lifetime.

 

At KidsOutAndAbout, we LOVE going on vacation. We do our best to make things as fun and stress-free as possible for our families, so we thought we'd offer up our suggestions for making family vacations better.

 

Hands down, our most common shared advice is to create some variation on the "busy bag" to keep kids occupied during long rides. Leslie wraps up little surprise gifts from the dollar store, Meg gets crafty by adding magnets to puzzles so kids can puzzle on a pan or adding Velcro to popsicle sticks to turn them into building tools, Chelle's bags include art supplies, dot-to-dot books, mazes, and crossword puzzles. Read on for more tips shared by our staff.

 

Your family vacations will be some of your most special family time together. Childhood is fleeting, and it's likely that you'll have many wonderful and relaxing vacations in your future. Alas, that time isn't now. For now, pack up that "busy bag," set your course for family adventure, and enjoy the journey.
