Caravan with 2year old- what will I forget?

[whatarethechances2021]

I'm all packed but I fear I've forgotten something that I don't know about as I've never been on a caravan holiday with a 2 year old.... any advice??

Night light!

Swimming aids? Calpol? Extra towels (it can be hard to get stuff to dry), basic food and condiments.

Night light!!!! Amazing thank you

Waterproofs - crocs/wellies and kagoules

Your own or hired?

Warm bedding and familiar blanket for toddler
Small games/toys
Plastic plates, cups and small cutlery washing up liquid
Extra toilet paper

Hand towel for the bathroom, tea towels, hand soap for the bathroom for washing hands!

(They’re things I always forget for a caravan holiday!)

tin opener
torch/head torch

Dishcloths,sponge,washing up liquid, washing up brush, anti bac tea towel
Laundry detergent
Hand towels and soaps
Sharp knife tinopener, veg peeler
Kids bowl,plate,cup spoon.
Sandwich bags, carrier bags, nappy sacks.
Potty nappies wipes cream, changing mat
Slippers

Toys. But no little pieces.
Small cars worked well

Ear phones for you so you can watch stuff on your iPad when they've gone to end

Calpol, nappies, spare sheets, rain suit, wellies, bibs, favourite soft toy, washing up liquid.

Sleep.

We had a van for years, where are you putting her to sleep?

tea towels! at least that's what i forgot last year for my caravan trip.

A stair gate. We wished we separated off the kitchen area when we went away as it was a nightmare keeping DD out of tHe drawers

Baby monitor if they're sleeping in a different room?

Bed guard? Books, jigsaws, sun hat, sun cream, towels. We took our 2.5 year old last month and he absolutely loved it!

Tiny paddling pool to put in the shower so they can have a 'bath'.

Bath mat

Bed guard.

Tin foil to line the grill pan/ baking tray.

Blanket for the floor in case it is minging!

Stick on blackout blind is our top tip for kids holidays!

Amazing thank you everyone- I've been adding everything you all mentioned as the comments came in,

Roll on tomorrow I feel much better now x

Safety pins and blankets or similar to pin up over the thin curtains! Or else your 2 year old will be awake extremely early!

Clothes pegs.

Definitely warm bedding. Took my DS to a caravan when he was about 3 one Easter. It was so cold he cried and we ended up having to go home after one night! Hopefully the warm weather this week will continue for your break, but even so, caravans aren’t as well insulated as houses - it’s a bit like camping in some of them! So lots of blankets and maybe hot chocolate before bed etc - Have a great time.

I’ve caravanned for the last few years with young children (youngest is now 2), we take a white noise app so they can’t hear outside noise, it’s great, we use one at home too tho.

We don’t take a night light as the caravan is small so it would be too bright! Make sure the caravan has black out blinds and if it hasn’t take some - can use plastic type backlit material and double sided sticky tape - you can get kits from Amazon.

Take plenty of snacks/juice cartons etc - things that don’t need to be in a fridge.

Be prepared for them to not go to bed very early - we went at the weekend with friends and the first night the two and three year old didn’t sleep until half 9 but they didn’t wake up until half 9 so it wasn’t all bad!!
