Pack bags
A trip asks for decisions long before the journey: clothes for weather you haven't seen, items for days you haven't reached, all in a bag that does not stretch. The visual support below breaks the choices into manageable steps.

About this visual support
Packing for a longer trip is different from filling a daily bag. The body has to dress itself across several days without knowing how the weather will turn. Toothbrush, pyjamas, swimwear and perhaps a soft toy all have to share a space noticeably smaller than the wardrobe at home. And once the journey begins, there is no fetching anything that was forgotten.
A visual support moves the weight of all these decisions out of the head and into a clear overview. When each category, tops, bottoms, sleepwear, hygiene, sits there as pictures, the child can choose within one group at a time without losing the whole. It also becomes easier to spot what is actually missing before the zipper closes. A practical tip: lay the pictures out on the bed together with the clothes themselves, so the child pairs each image with a real item rather than holding a list in mind.
In the Routined app the travel pack can be saved as a reusable routine with built-in ticks, so the next trip starts from a finished base. The fourteen-day trial covers the full feature set.
