YOUR FAMILY VACATION PACKING LIST

Pack and play

Here’s an idea: why not try letting the little ones pack their own stuff? OK. You might have just fallen off your chair but, hear us out. Getting children to choose their own clothing is a great way to get them involved, encourage independence and give them a sense of achievement. So, what to choose from? Shorts, tees and dresses that can be mixed and matched are a good idea. Plus, don’t forget the long-sleeved tops and leggings to keep them nice and cosy when they finally tire of splashing around in the water. Go for sun-blocking options where possible, such as this long-sleeved swimsuit made with Sun Smart UPF50+ fabric. Don’t forget sunglasses and hats with full UV protection. Lastly, this might not be an obvious one for the beach, but make sure they have footwear to protect their tootsies from painful pebbles and shells. Closed-toe jelly shoes will do the trick.
