Tips and Tricks for Surviving a Last Minute Trip

February 2, 2017 By Thaleia 1 Comment

This is a sponsored post for Bootler but all opinions are mine.

Even though we tout ourselves as travel bloggers we can still be thrown for a loop when we have to travel at the last minute. You see usually it take weeks of preparation with hours being poured over travel guides and local tourist attraction sites. We usually get the kids involved in choosing something fun that they would like to do. This all goes out the window with a last minute trip such as a funeral.

Does your little one enjoy scooping, pouring, and feeling a variety of textures? Do you enjoy putting together sensory bins and activities? I have found a nice selection of Valetines themed sensory bins and activities which use common household items.

Spend some time gathering your supplies for countless hours of sensory fun. Here’s a basic list of sensory supplies to get you started:

Plastic tub or bin

Measuring cups or scoops

Tongs or Jumbo Tweezers

Heart shaped ice cube tray

Plastic heart gems

ABC & 123 Cookie Cutter Set

Red rice or beans

Tissue paper

Foam Hearts

Heart-shaped containers, Cookie Cutters, etc.

Once you gather your supplies be sure to set out your sensory bin on a washable surface that is easy to reach by your little one.

We don’t drink wine but have had family and friends save corks for us to save for a rainy day project. It wasn’t rainy but dreary and cold the other day which prompted me to pull out some corks and craft supplies. I set out a divided circular tray with cork, toothpicks, small craft sticks, pipe cleaners, and pom-poms to let the kids create their own recycled cork puppet.

Spend some prep time and you will have tons of activities to occupy your children for cold Winter days.
