Getting your kids packed for a trip is half the battle and House On Hill Road shares a fun idea for making a visual packing list!
Betz White came up with a new twist on a favorite idea from The Purl Bee - highlight well-loved t-shirts in embroidery hoops :) This would also work for any of your child's clothing that they've outgrown but you just can't bear to part with!
Chasing Cheerios has come up with a dozen activity bags for her toddler to use during a trip! She gives all the details here. As great as these are for traveling these would be wonderful to keep stashed somewhere and bring out whenever the need strikes :)
A color matching activity bag and...
her finger puppets activity bag.
Great idea from Let's Explore! Put your own together or purchase one from her shop :)
I'm in love with this idea from Domesticali: children's artwork decoupaged onto these wood drawers from Ikea! I just so happen to have several sets of these drawers and I have been trying to decide what to do with them, now I know :) You could make color copies and reduce and/or enlarge them too.
Plum Pudding has a great way to recycle and store toys - sounds like a perfect solution!
