Kids Travel Journal!

Starting a Kids’ Travel Journal!
​

Traveling with kids is a truly a wonderful learning experience for them!

One great way to capture these precious memories is to journal daily on their vacation. This is a terrific keepsake for you, but your kids will love to be able to go back years later and read about the memories that have been engrained into their hearts forever.
 
There are a bunch of creative ideas for your children to log their vacation memories.  We're here to help you start this memory making, with some quick and creative ideas for your kids’ keepsake travel journal keeping:

  • Keep a log of all of your days, times, and activities.  Write all the fun things you did along the journey.  Have your children (if able) write in the book.
  • Keep a travel learning journal with one thing your children learned each day.
  • Take lots of pictures and journal underneath the pictures, once pasted to your journal book.
  • Keep a fun, family memory bag throughout the trip. Cuts strips of construction paper (or use card stock) and let everyone write their favorite memory each day on a paper and add it to the bag, and on the way back you can read them aloud (to help fight traveling boredom).
  • Keep a sweet memory jar full of new treasures with many interesting and unique things they find each day. Whether it’s a sea shell, or a sticker, ticket stub, small souvenir, etc. keeping little things they find along the way is a  super fun way for them to seek new treasures everywhere you go together.
  • Keep a weather journal of what the temperatures and the actual weather was like each day in this new place that you visited.
  • ​Consider adding date stamped newspaper clippings to their journal, from each new location.
  • Keep a food journal of all the yummy meals and new treats that were tried throughout the trip. Maybe you can even find a new recipe along the way to try when you come back home.
  • Keep a map journal of your travel journey. Cut out the route you took from a map and your kids can draw along the path as you go, color it in, add fun pictures alongside the map, etc.  Consider putting this into their keepsake journal.
  • Cut out the route you took, then cross-stitch it and frame it as a nice memento from your travel journey.  This would be great hanging in their room.
  • Keep track of the dates you traveled, and consider adding your own journal entries to coincide with theirs!  Notes from Mom and Dad make their journal even more special in years to come.
  • Keep a laugh journal with all the funny things that made them laugh (and don't forget you too) from the start of the trip all the way to the end.
  • Create a 3-d memory box when you return with postcards, stickers, entry stubs, a picture or two taken, notes, schedules, etc.

​We hope a few of these ideas are helpful to you as you begin journaling with your children on your next vacation!
