Packing your child’s bag before a day at the nursery, the club, or out in the snow is a small step that makes a big difference. Here’s a complete checklist to make sure you don’t forget anything.
Mountain weather can change quickly, so be sure to pack:
A spare pair of pants (ideally lined or waterproof)
A long-sleeve t-shirt or warm thermal top
A pair of thick spare socks
A ski suit or waterproof jacket and pants set
A hat, scarf or neck warmer, and lined gloves
Waterproof snow boots
Tip: choose layers that are easy to put on and take off to make things easier for the staff.
If your child is under 3 years old, don’t forget:
Pacifier, comfort toy, or any soothing item
Diapers (at least 3 or 4), wipes, and a bag for dirty clothes
Diaper cream if needed
A full change of clothes, just in case
Even in winter, sun protection is essential in the mountains:
SPF 50 sunscreen specially for children
Sunglasses or a suitable mask
Moisturizing lip balm
And of course, a water bottle, a small healthy snack (fruit purée, dry biscuit), and a cloth or paper tissue.
A sheet with the child’s full name, parents’ contact details, and any allergies
A copy of the health insurance or social security card, if required
Remember to label every piece of clothing and accessory with the child’s name
Packing a well-prepared bag means giving your child comfort, safety, and independence. Whether it’s for the Crèche du Yéti, the Yéti Camp, or a simple family outing, a thoughtfully packed bag (without overloading it) prevents many hassles. It’s better to plan ahead so everyone enjoys a great day in the mountains, calm and well-equipped.
