I created a visual packing list that enabled my kids to successfully manage their own gear on a month-long camping trip.

I created this before we took our four boys (aged eight, five, three and three) on a cross-country trip this summer that required daily repacking and unpacking.one page per kideach kid chooses their gear based on the listparent approves gearkid colours the objects on the sheet to look like their actual gearI printed a map on the backs, laminated them, punched a hole in the corner, and tied it to the handle of their overnight bags.The big kids were given dry-erase markers so they could cross off objects as they packed.It worked well. The only confusion came from forgetting they were wearing some items at all times. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2xNO9h3
