Pockimals 10 Tips for Family Travel
Welcome to the whimsical world of Pockimals, where travel isn’t just about reaching your destination; it’s an adventure filled with sticky situations, cuddles, and plenty of fun!
Here are our top 10 tips for making your family’s journey as delightful as possible.
1. Pack Those Precious Snacks!
Airplane and rest stop food prices can rival the cost of a family vacation itself. Plus, have you ever tried explaining to a child why they can’t have their favorite snack? Stick to familiar, easy-to-pack, and allergy-free treats. Don’t be shy about packing more than you think you need. Satisfying snacks keep both kids and parents smiling, even during unexpected delays.
2. Wipes to the Rescue
Picture this: you’re on the plane in row 10, surrounded by adults who are blissfully unaware of the peanut butter and banana masterpiece your child is crafting. Suddenly, a sticky situation arises, and all eyes are on you. Fear not! With a trusty 10-pack of wipes, you and your little one can handle sticky fingers and airplane tray tables. It’s like a secret mission with Taco Dragon by your side!
3. A Change of Clothes: The Superhero of Packing
We hope it never happens, but if it does, let’s make it a spill rather than something worse! Packing an extra set of clothes is your ticket to keeping the trip on track. And, of course, ensure your little one is back to smiling with a Pockimals t-shirt set.
4. The Mighty Plastic Bag
In the immortal words of Ray Romano, “Having children is like living in a frat house – nobody sleeps, everything’s broken, and there’s a lot of throwing up.” When the inevitable happens, that plastic bag will become your most prized possession, as Eddie Lion can attest!
5. Cozy Vibes for the Win
The holiday season can be described in so many ways - busy, wonderful, hectic, epic, adventurous! Pockimals wants you to experience cozy and sane holidays, whether you’re on an airplane or a long car ride. Bring along a favorite blanket, a special lovey, or a well-worn pillow to make travel feel just like home.
6. Let the Games Begin
Playtime isn’t just for kids; it’s a proven stress-buster for all ages. Pockimals families are big fans of Connect 4. It’s strategic, fast-paced, and can even motivate kids to outwit their parents and grandparents. Plus, when tempers run high, Taco Dragon is always there for emotional support!
7. Band-Aids: Our Tiny Heroes
We’ve all been there – a minor scrape becomes a major drama. Luckily, a package of cute-themed bandages and a little antibiotic ointment can work wonders. Add a cuddle from Peanut Elephant, and those tears will be history!
8. Bring a Book, Foster Sweet Dreams
Whether your child finds comfort in the soothing rhythm of ”Good Night Moon” or the loving voice of a grandparent reading Curious George or Harry Potter, a nighttime reading ritual can work wonders for sleep, even in unfamiliar places. Our original Lucky Dog, a gentle Bernese Mountain dog, was always there to guard our kids’ dreams as they ventured into the worlds of their favorite books.
9. A Treat to Save the Day
Remember how we mentioned bandages and hugs? Well, sometimes, they don’t cut it. That’s when a well-timed bribe comes to the rescue. Who can resist a good bribe, right?
10. The Cute Backpack Revolution
From around three years old, our little one packed his toddler-sized blue backpack with a plastic computer, headphones, snacks, an extra outfit, and his lovey. Just like his Dad, he “worked” and watched movies as we flew. With the right equipment, kids and their loveys can become elite travelers too! The Pockimals backpack is the perfect companion for all your travel adventures.
So, there you have it, our whimsical Pockimal’s10 tips for family travel! Remember, a little preparation and a lot of imagination can turn any journey into a magical adventure. Safe travels and happy adventures with your little Pockimal companions!
