As I prepare for a lot of upcoming travel with my kiddos over the summer, I know I will be going crazy packing for the 3 of us (one of the joys of traveling). Instead of driving myself crazy trying to make sure I don’t forget anything I thought that going forward, it would be great for all of us if they could pack their own suitcases (I of course would go through it all and make sure they have everything they need until they have mastered it). Not only will this relieve some of the pressure and stress before a trip but it also teaches them about responsibility. Plus, they get to feel like they are a part of it. That’s where these nifty (and FREE) printable summer packing checklist for children comes in.
They are super cute and provide an easy way to get your little ones involved in the packing process for their next summer adventure.
To make it even more personal for the kids, there is a printable summer packing checklist specifically for boys and one specifically for girls.
*You can click on the links above to print your printable summer packing checklists before every trip…so be sure to bookmark this page.
I’ll be giving this a try this summer and I hope you do too. Let me know if you do the same and how the Printable Summer Packing Checklist works out for you.
What a SUPER SUPER SUPER CUTE idea! Can’t believe nobody has thought of this… or maybe just that I’ve never seen it. And I’m a girl who’s all about checklists and visuals. Can we get something like this for adults too?? haha
I can work on it 😉
This is a great way to teach kids some autonomy while still allowing for them to be prepared. I just learned the other day that my 21 year old brother doesn’t really know how to pack for a trip, haha!
LOL…maybe he’ll find these useful too 😉
This is such a brilliant idea, if I had kids I would print this out. LOL But I could use an adult version.
I can work on it 😉
Such a great idea! I’m definitely a checklist person and it’s great that this one is premade for me lol
🙂
What a great idea,I am a checklist kind of person.
What a great tool – thank you for sharing!! My little one loves to go for sleepovers and this is a great way to make sure he has what he needs without me having to do it for him or double-check him!
Yay! So glad you find it helpful 🙂
We used this last night in fact as my little guy was going to sleepover at my parents. And I noticed an important item missing — pajamas! Thought I’d post so if you wanted to update it…..but it was easy to add myself too.
Thanks again for a great tool!
Thanks for letting me know! I thought they were on there so I’ll have to get that fixed.
So glad you used it.
This is awesome! I will definitely start making my oldest pack her own stuff for shorter trips!
🙂
What a great list! I love my lists and have my own for packing, organizing, travel, etc. but never had one for the kids. Now with this list they can help me but organizing their own clothes. Thank you!
