Going on a trip is very fun! Packing your bag is the first part of the trip. Here are simple steps to help you pack like a pro.
-
Make a List. Write down what you need. You will need clothes, shoes, and a toothbrush. Check your list so you do not forget anything.
-
Find a Bag. Pick a bag that is easy for you to move. A bag with wheels is a great choice! Make sure the zippers work.
-
Roll Your Clothes. Do not fold your shirts. Roll them up like a little sleeping bag! This saves space and keeps your clothes neat.
-
Use Small Bags. You can put socks in one small bag and shirts in another. This keeps your suitcase tidy.
-
Heavy Things Go First. Put heavy things like shoes and books at the bottom of the bag. This stops the bag from tipping over.
-
Fill the Holes. If you see empty spots, tuck your socks or underwear inside. This uses all the space in the bag.
-
Pack Your Soap. Put your soap, shampoo, and toothbrush in a plastic bag. This way, if they leak, your clothes will stay dry.
-
Keep Toys Near You. Put your favorite toy, a book, and a snack in a small backpack. Keep this bag with you in the car or on the plane.
-
Zip and Check. Close your bag. Ask a grown-up to help you make sure it is not too heavy to carry.
-
Get Ready to Go! Now your bag is ready. You did a great job! Have a wonderful time on your vacation.
