Brandon Rudd, Publisher of the new travel book series for kids – Cooper’s Pack Travel Guides – has some tips and tricks on traveling with your kids- and of course, some cute books as well. Cooper’s Pack has launched four children’s travel books (so far) featuring London, Seattle, New York City and Alaska. Little Man loved checking these out- they are a fun way to introduce kids to new cities, and travel in general.
1. Learn about where you are going before you go.
EXAMPLE: Read a travel guide, search the internet, talk to a relative or
friend about their experiences there). Everyone wins when they are invested
in trip.
2. Bring a friend…
EXAMPLE: Bring your best friend…if they can’t go, bring your favorite
stuffed animal friend. Stuffed animals love to travel too!
3. Take a camera!
EXAMPLE: Take pictures of your favorite sites, stuffed animal and things
you can’t see at home.
4. Bring a small backpack
EXAMPLE: Bring a small backpack so you can carry your camera, stuffed
animal, travel guide, area map and any souvenirs you buy.
5. Carry snacks…candy bar, string cheese, gummy bears, granola bars, etc.
EXAMPLE/BACKGROUND: You never know when you are going to get hungry and
sometimes food is not always available, especially on an airplane.
Other suggestions:
-Pack light, don’t bring a pillow
-Buy a souvenir
-Take notes about what you saw and where you went
-Make sure everyone in your family/group gets to see/visit something they
want
-Try the local food
-Always visit a park if there is one nearby
-Be safe and make new friends
