Nothing will negate the benefit of a family vacation like losing your child’s most treasured inanimate friend. Here are a few ideas for keeping Knufflebunny from disappearing forever.
1 Leave it home if possible.
2 Leave strapped in child’s car seat to “keep it safe” at rest stops.
3 At overnight stops, attach a list to the door of items to collect, including the “special.”
4 When packing up at a hotel, put it with the shoes by the door.
5 Refuse to leave the hotel or allow snacks without it. If another child hid it, they’ll be motivated to cough it up.
6 Task a responsible older child to be the toy’s “buddy” to help keep track of it.
