Top Tips for
easy travelling... Plan ahead • allow plenty of time and try to be relaxed
• if you are stressed or trying to get somewhere in a hurry, your child will pick up on this and is likely to become stressed too, as a result!
Be prepared Whatever the length of the journey, always take:
• a Journey Bag – a small bag to include spare nappies, wipes, kitchen towel, antiseptic cream, Calpol, plasters and a couple of spare plastic bags (always come in handy!).
• plenty of drinks & snacks – helpful if your journey is delayed.
How can we nurture the natural talent in our children?
A
lthough most children love music, only a few adults feel able to confidently play an instrument or sing.
To address this problem, after decades of research and teaching experience, Stringnote has developed a method that supports children’s natural musical abilities. In the same way that you don’t learn to read in a language before learning to speak it, the Talent Development programme enables children from 0 to 6 years to ‘speak music’ and fully release their musicality and creativity.

• essential changes of clothing – there’s nothing worse than if your little one has a little accident and you can’t change them!
• portable potty.
• for longer journeys, take a blanket - for your child to snuggle into.
Take entertainment & activities
• For short trips - small cuddly and other toys (cars, dolls etc); books, including puzzle books; colouring pads, crayons and stickers.
• For longer journeys - travel games, snap cards, connect etc; music or story CDs; electronic games and DVD players – with spare batteries and car chargers! Your children may also enjoy playing traditional travel games with you like “I Spy.”
