Get ready to craft a travel journal with your little adventurers!
The idea of recording memories, sticking photos, and filling the blank pages with precious moments to relive them later is appealing. A children's travel journal turns memories into something real, with tickets, anecdotes, snippets of brochures, drawings… But how do you create such a journal, and how do you then use it?
Step 1 – Customize and personalize the cover
Before your child starts filling the pages of their travel journal, encourage them to spend a few minutes decorating the exterior, adding their personal touch.
Step 2 – Write a short text
As soon as the child is able to write, encourage them to express what they enjoyed about their day. 2 to 5 lines are enough up to 9 years old. For younger children, write down the words they dictate to you.
Step 3 – Drawing their favourite place
This is what will appeal most to your children: letting their creativity speak, and their memory to see what struck them during their visit.
Step 4 – Sticking tickets, brochures from visited places
Collect the tickets, small brochures where children will cut out photos, that they then stick into their notebook.
You can also find pre-made travel journals. Inside, they contain fun and educational activities like word searches, colouring pages, city-specific trivia, the ASL alphabet, and more.
