5 Unexpected Items That Will Make Your PCS With Kids Easier

4. Play dough

The most surprising item of all: play dough!

Considered a messy item by many, this toy PROVES to be an activity that will keep kids busy for hours, because it never gets old – they’re always able to create something new.

Have children use a plastic folder or placemat on their lap or airplane table to minimize messes and let them shape, mix and mash colors to pass the time.

5. An “emergency” bag

If you’re flying, consider it your carry-on bag that has one of everything each child needs in the event your luggage gets lost.

The essentials include 1 pair of underwear for each child, a change of clothes, a bathing suit and snacks. If you have this, no matter the unforeseen circumstances, you’ll have EXACTLY what you need to keep your kids healthy and sane!

Check into a hotel, let them swim and clean them up…life will go from stressful to sweet in the blink of an eye.
