Vacation Packing Tips for Kids

This post is sponsored by OshKosh B’Gosh. Thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

Temps are rising so you know what that means, it’s family vacation time! My girls and I are currently in Chicago for a mini vacay to spend some time with my mom. I’m lucky that I can stay with my mom though, because if not I would have to find somewhere to stay in Chicago, I’d probably end up going somewhere like Crowne Plaza Chicago West Loop though. I’m also planning a family trip later this spring so my babies can put their toes in the sand. After all the vacation plans are confirmed, there’s the drama of packing for your kids. I want my girls to look just as fly on vacation as they do when we’re home. I’m sharing my top vacation packing tips with the help of OshKosh B’gosh. Your future vacations can be both fun and fashionable.

• Pick a color scheme. Talk to your child and ask them what are their favorite colors are. Having a color scheme allows to mix and match pieces. Don’t be afraid to mix patterns.

• Double duty items. Pick items that serve more than one purpose. Buy dresses that can work as a cover-up at the beach or shorts that can go from lunch to the pool.

• Accessorize. Accessories are a great budget friendly way to add some flare to your child’s outfits. OshKosh has a fabulous selection of jewelry, shades, hats and more for boy, girls and babies.

• Stock up on dresses. Dresses are perfect vacation attire for girls. They are easy to get on and off and can double as a cover up. Dress don’t take up much room in the suitcase.

• Bag it up. Place all accessories in a large baggie. This will make it easy for your child to grab their shades, hats and whatever cute accessories you find at OshKosh. If you have more than one child make sure to label each baggie.

• Shop early. Don’t wait till the last minute to shop for vacation clothes for your kids. Beautiful spring and summer items are available now at OshKosh with great deals.

How cute are the girls looks in OshKosh! If you notice, Peyton and Harper are matching without matching. Picking a color scheme that they both can wear takes the cuteness to another level. I just love Peyton and Harper’s accessories. You can find both of the girls complete looks HERE or at your local OshKosh store HERE and save an extra 25% with the coupon above. The coupon is good until April 30. Restrictions apply.

Our next trip is to the beach! Are you planning any family vacation trips this spring or summer?
