Given the unpredictably rainy weather, if you have spare pac-a-mac type waterproof raincoats children can squeeze in their bags, that would be worth doing. Packing a couple of spare (named) pairs of socks might also be worthwhile as accidents can happen whilst changing in and out of wellies! Thanks.
