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??

First aid kit including plasters, savlon, nappy cream, calpol/ibuprofen, antihistamine, prevent and treat insect cream/spray
Also Nail clippers, nail scissors, tweezers (in case of ticks or splinters).
Household items like foil, cling film, a sharp knife, matches, table cloth, kitchen roll, toilet roll, cleaning spray, washing up liquid, sponge, bin bags. Often sites sell stuff but it's much more expensive.

Also washing powder/liquid! They might have onsite washing machine. If not you may need to hand wash some items especially if heavy soiled or where they would get stained.

Tin foil to make a blackout blind. Wet the window stick on the foil.

Dishwasher tablets. Bin bags. Wine

Every year we forget scissors. Plug socket covers? Maybe your own mug from home for you. Also, we once forgot the pushchair Blush

Toys, swimming things/swimming nappies if not toilet trained, travel cot if there isnt one already there

Bath mat
slippers
Toddler sized plate, fork ect
bin bags / spare carrier bags
hand soap

Look up the nearest supermarket and stop off before arriving to do a shop.

A decent sharp knife. Not for the 2 year old just because Caravans never have decent knives. Also extra towels they always take ages to dry in a caravan. Enjoy

The things that you need - your own drugs, clothes, toiletries if there are particular brands you use. Phone/device chargers

have a good time 😀
