What it is

Switch days ask a lot of kids: remembering what to pack, knowing where they'll sleep, and saying goodbye in one place and hello in another. This kit gives them simple picture tools for the practical side and the feelings side, all in one matching set. It says Home 1 and Home 2 with blanks to fill in, so it fits any family and never blames anyone.

What's included

Picture packing checklist and 4 bag tags
Monthly and weekly two-homes calendars
12 switch-day feelings cards
Goodbye + hello steps for switch days
The Same in Both Homes and My Two Homes pages

Printing tips

Laminate the packing checklist and keep a few feelings cards in the bag. If you can, post the goodbye and hello steps in both homes so the routine is the same everywhere. This is a digital file, so nothing will be shipped.
