Packing must-haves for toddler!

[HettyMeg]

Heading on a sun holiday with our toddler next month - she will be 18M. Please send me your suggestions for what we need to take - does she need a long sleeved UV swimsuit all the time while there? Any toys or games you recommend for travelling and then while on the hol? Any other helpful hints? Thanks in advance.

Beakers, arm bands, sunglasses, fish and a net, watering can

lots of long sleeved T-shirts

talcum powder (gets sand off)

net bag (for toys so you can put them in and shake water sand off)

long sleeved T-shirts to pop over if sunscreen isn’t enough

crocs/similar because they rub less and can go in the sea

write your mobile phone number on her arm and take a photo with your phone of her in todays outfit just incase she gets separated from you

keep lots of water available

Snoozeshade is really useful for pram naps, as is a little clip on fan for the pram

She absolutely needs a long sleeved swimsuit rather than a standard one - getting factor 50 on a wiggly toddler is not fun, and you will miss bits!

Several hats as you’re guaranteed to lose at least one.

Toddler headphones so she can watch things on the plane.

Sticker books.

Thanks for the suggestions @Zeonlywayisup @bibbingo @Saffronn. We have a snooze shade so will be taking. I am so pale that I need factor 50 and she has inherited my skin so think we will definitely stick to the long sleeve swimwear. Hadn't thought of Toddler headphones for plane. Might be a necessity if our planned toys / activities don't work....
