Making your life easier
Whilst a wet bag or clips won't change your kids' lives, they might make yours easier and one less stress is a step closer to calm outings
We always take a wet bag when we go out, then when your toddler inevitably gets their clothes dirty they go straight into the wet bag which keeps them contained until you get home, then just open the zip and the whole bag goes in the washing machine!

Toddlers aren't trying to make our lives harder even though sometimes it feels that way. But I've found sometimes they just don't know what the expectations are and what they're meant to be doing, social stories can be so helpful in that situation to...

Keeping them safe
We all want our babies to stay safe so these should help to keep them that way (or fix them up if they do get a boo boo)

Obviously rain boots are an essential but if you can find ones with handles I promise they will make your life easier. My 3 year old can put them on by himself and loves them because of it!

Keeping them occupied
An entertained toddler is a happy toddler, usually. And obviously toys and books help but here are some more out there ideas!
Whilst grown ups have our handy phones to take photos, toddlers generally do not. My older son has his own camera but I obviously don't expect a toddler to be able to take care of one, which is why we have disposable cameras for him. We get the stran...

Sometimes you just need something for your toddler to focus on whilst waiting, I love these magic water books for that. No chance for mess, only one thing to throw in your bag, and keeps them entertained over and over.
