What should girls pack for a sleepover?
Before you pack for a sleepover, ask the host where you will sleep and whether you should bring a sleeping bag and pillow. No matter what your host says, pack your bathroom essentials, like your toothbrush, toothpaste, and hairbrush. You will also need pajamas, underwear, and an outfit to wear the next day.
