Getting Ready

1. 
   1
   Wake up your stuffed animal. Simply whisper into their ear, "It's time to wake up! We're going on a trip!" Say it gently and happily so that your plush pal wakes up feeling happy and refreshed. Maybe shake it very gently if he or she doesn't wake up, but please don't shake your pal too hard! It can scare them and make them not want to come with you.
2. 
   2
   Eat a hearty and nutritious breakfast together. Stuffed animals do not like human food! Do not feed them real food or drinks. Give them plastic, clay or rubber food. They love the taste of those materials. Make sure you both eat healthy food, because you will need energy and strength for the big journey ahead.

   Get dressed together. If your stuffed animal doesn't wear clothes, skip this step. Help your stuffed animal get out of their old clothes and into their new ones. Make sure that both of your clothes are suitable for the weather! You do not want to wear shorts and a tank top in the snowy mountains, or a heavy winter coat to the beach.

   Pack both of your bags. Go through your checklist together. You can pack a separate bag for your stuffed animal, or let your pal use yours. You should pack:

   • Extra outfits
   • Food
   • Water
   • Matches (Be extremely cautious with these.)
   • Hats (In case it gets cold)
   • Sunglasses (In case it gets sunny)
   • Tent
   • Sleeping bags
   • Your cellphone
   • Favorite book or toy
   • Coat or jacket (If it's cold)
   • Sunscreen (If where you are going is hot)
   • Anything else you feel you need

   Check your bags. Did you pack everything? Did you pack a little too much? You want to make sure that your bags are perfect.

   Tell your plushie how you will get there. Train? Bus? Car? Airplane? Maybe you're going on foot! This way, they know and they don't get surprised.

   Get seated onto your vehicle if you're using one. Pick your seat wisely, and always keep your stuffed pal on your lap or in your bag. Keep them in a bag with lots of space to breathe. Think about how you would feel if you were stuck in cramped a bag or box with barely any air!

   If you're walking, put your stuffed animal into your bag with entertainment, bedding and food. Bedding means anything soft and comfy, so that your stuffed animal does not get hurt.

   If you're on a plane, comfort your pal through takeoff. If your stuffed animal has been on a plane before, this should be much easier.
