TIPS FOR MOVING WITH CHILDREN
Moving is a good reason to get rid of things you don’t want anymore, which will also make room for new things you might get in the future! Go through your all toys and games and group them into three piles:
First Pile: Things you want to take with you to the new home.
Second Pile: Things to toss out (broken toys and games with missing pieces).
Third Pile: Things you don’t want but could be given away to other kids.
Ask: “What Else”!
Ask your parents what else can you do to help with all the sorting and packing that needs to be done. They will appreciate your help!
Mark Your Stuff as “Yours”!
Design your own personal “seal” for marking your boxes as YOUR property! As your belongings are packed, draw your “seal” on the outside of each box. Be creative! You can create your own work of art to mark your belongings.
Get Ready for Your First Night!
Your first night in your new home is very special. Be sure to have your favorite pajamas, your trust blanket or stuffed toy, or your favorite book packed away in your suitcase or backpack. This will be your very own piece that you’ll personally be in charge of to take with you to your new place to get ready for your first night in your new home!
Don’t Forget to Bring Some Entertainment!
Don’t forget to take some things for you to do on the airplane or in the car on the way to the new home, such as books, video games, action figures, or crayons and paper.

MOVING WITH
7 TIPS FORYOUR MOVING EXPERIENCE
1. Use shredded paper to protect your belongings. This is a double tip. While packing you will find documents and paperwork that you no longer need, but also should not be throw in to the trash for security reasons. Shred your documents and then use them to cushion the fragile items that you want to keep in one piece!
2. Just like Goldilocks, you want to find the box that is just right! Use uniform sized boxes, not too big and not too small, and you will be able to stack them easier and it makes loading and unloading go quicker. Large boxes are tempting to pack to the brim, but may be impossible to pick up once you have them loaded down.
3. Clear...for soft items, such as clothes and linens, use clear trash bags. You will be able to see what is inside and unpacking will be a breeze. For smaller items use quart and gallon zip lock bags. Throw those in the top of the box for the room that they will be unpacked.
4. Electronics...oh what a tangled web we weave! How am I going to remember what gets plugged in to what when I get where I’m going? Take a photo of each electronic device’s “map of wires”. You may even want to label them with colored masking tape and write what goes to what. When you arrive at your destination, you now have a photo log of how to get your electronics plugged back in and online in no time.
5. Labels are the way to know. It takes just a few extra moments to catalog what is in the box, but it will save you hours when you are unpacking. Write down the name of the room you want this box to be unloaded, and then a brief description of what is in the box, i.e. pots, pans, and pancake flipper.
6. Pack an OPEN FIRST box for immediate use when you get to your next home. Include a hand towel, hand soap, Kleenex, toilet paper, tooth brushes, tooth paste, paper towels, scissors, knife, bottle opener, paper plates and cups, and a small first aid kit. To make sure that box is one of the first to enter the home, pack it on the truck last.
7. Have the local pizza delivery service on speed dial. You will be hungry and so will your generous friends who helped you make the move a success.
