However, the reason packing for kids is easy is because of the packing crates needed.

In that, there is a delicateness required when packing baby toys for relocation.

So, what are these easy packing tips for kids?

Packing Tips For Kids

1. Pack in Big Boxes

Just like we pack pillows in big boxes, you should pack your kids’ stuff in big boxes.

Generally, big boxes carry lightweight stuff.

Therefore, please take advantage of the many lightweight kids’ items and put them in the big boxes.

Many kids’ stuff is usually bulky and plastic that can fit well in big boxes.

Moreover, big boxes are also easy to carry when light.

So ensure you pack those light plastics and toys. We can always help you do that and facilitate your moves.

2. Don’t overload Boxes

Since kids’ stuff is usually bulky, do not overload them in the big boxes.

Toys, teddy bears, cars, among other kids’ stuff should be packed based on their delicateness.

However, put a few of them in big boxes to avoid overloading and making the boxes too heavy.

3. Mark The Crates Appropriately

After packing your Crates appropriately with your kids’ stuff, seal them appropriately.

Use packing sellotape to ensure the pieces of stuff do not pour out of your boxes. Mark the boxes well with your box mark pen.

Marking the boxes makes them easily recognizable for placing and unpacking.

4. Place the Packing Crates on Top

Boxes with kids’ stuff should be put on top! Heavier boxes placed on top of boxes with plastic toys can cause damage.

Your kid’s precious toy could break and lead to losses since you will have to buy them another similar or better toy.

How To Make The Moving Process Fun For Children

Have you ever planned to move with your 5 children to upcountry “Ushago” during the festive season?

If so, then you can definitely relate.

Here is a great piece on moving during the holiday.

Moving with children can be exciting and chaotic at the same time. What do I mean by this?

These young children are aware that they are moving to a new house on the other side of town and cannot wait for the new adventure that awaits them. The next minute, they start crying when they see a group of strangers coming to their new home and start packing their toys for relocation. 

Isn’t it obvious that these kids will be defensive of the toys that they treasure so much?

Children are delicate, and they need to be handled with care.

Did you know that children see moving differently from adults?

What do I mean by this? We adults see moving as logistics, packing, and a fresh start, whereas these little children see moving as leaving their best friend next door, the corner they used to place their toys, or even that wall they used to measure their height every year.

It is deeper than we think. Their emotions come first in this case.

Therefore, this is what the Shifters & Movers team does to ensure the children remain calm and are part of the moving process, giving you peace of mind.

1. Introducing the team to them

Introducing the team to them makes them feel comfortable by knowing who we are and what we are there to do, avoiding them thinking they have been robbed.

b) Introducing a Game

We just don’t go straight to their bedrooms and start packing toys for relocation in our packing crates.

We introduce a game called treasure hunt in which they will be looking for something, and the one who finds it will get a reward or a treat in return.

This way, they will quickly start helping you pack their toys for relocation, making it fun.

Once they are done, the moving crates will be sealed with tape, ready for loading in our closed moving truck.

3. Feed and Entertain Them

Parent Moving takes quite some time; hence, children will need consistent feeding with snacks to keep them on their toes, otherwise, they will cry the whole time.

As I have learnt this from my younger nephews and nieces, the Gen Alpha, they love entertainment.

What is your children’s favourite program with songs? Is it Coco Melon? That could work for the day.

Therefore, this way, these children will feel involved, loved, and considered.
