A few large bottles of water and some juice boxes can be worth their weight in gold when someone is thirsty in the middle of the night too.
3. A camera
Camping trips are photo-album gold but festival camping trips are even better for filling those pages with super sentimental shots. Don't miss that shot of your son and heir catching his very first Duran Duran gig, sippy cup in hand or your daughter busting her first moves on a dance floor to S Club Party.
4. Baby wipes
We can't stress this one enough. Pack them into every available bag and rucksack, pack pocket-sized wipes for when you're on-the-move. From wiping noses to removing face paint, make-up and mud, baby wipes are a lifeline to pseudo-cleanliness while you're roughing it.
5. Eye masks
The neon lights of the campsite can keep little minds alert and curious eyes open long after bedtime has passed. Eye masks are fun to wear (help kids to decorate and personalise the outside of their mask before the festival) and they help everyone nod off.
6. Dryer sheets
Pop some dryer sheets between your clothes and sleeping bags to maintain that 'just washed' scent while you enjoy the great outdoors.
