Bedding
- Pack bedding in the packaging that it comes in. If you are using a comforter from the year before, you can purchase a comforter bag at your local store that will fit sheets and blanket as well. If there is a specific set of sheets that you want to be put on your child’s bed, put the pillowcase of that set on your child’s pillow before packing it.
Elastic Bands/Ponytail Holders
- Purchase enough rubber bands so they can wear them once and throw away. This will ensure that they are putting a “clean” (read: lice-free) accessory in their hair every day.
