"Hi my name is Veronica Baragas with my wiggles and giggles dot com. And I'd like to share with you a few things that you can pack in a toddler's suitcase. Now where ever it is that you may be going I'm sure these key essential items will help with any trip. So first let's start off with some plastic storage bags. These are going to be great for any dirty diapers or just packing any other things for the trip. Definitely do diapers or pull ups depending on whether you are potty training or not. Lots of wipes now these not only help with dirty diapers and what not but special messes you know our toddlers can get very sticky and dirty. Plenty of snacks, anything for the road trip where your destination is or what not. These can definitely help in in between meals. Extra pair of clothes. Sometimes I suggest to do layers you know in case it's going to be a little cool, you can always just take them off and storage them away in a larger plastic storage bag. A small first aid kit include you know any type of ointments, burn or itch you know ointments, any type of medication or band aids, things that you think will help along the way. Definitely pack a toothbrush with some toothpaste and other little toiletry items that you may need. Picture books work really well to keep them entertained. And a few surprises whether you are going to go on a airplane ride or a car trip. Little surprises throughout the afternoon, or throughout your trip will definitely help keep them entertained. So these are just a few key items that I would use in a toddler's suitcase."
