~ Encouraging kids
to keep a travel journal or a travel diary and collect momentoes and photos
for creating a vacation scrapbook at home can really help kids in looking
at their family vacation with open eyes
~ A Travel diary as opposed to a travel journal can be more like
noting down important facts like times, dates and places you've been too
whereas a travel journal can include drawings, clipped pieces of
travel momentoes stuck in etc

~ The most common
type of Travel Journal is a travel diary.
~ Travel journals are often illustrated and have added clippings of your
family vacation whereas a travel diary is kept to record much shorter
information
How to keep a Travel Diary with Kids
~ buy a travel diary that is appropriate for your type of family vacation,
ie if youare going on an outdoor vacation buy a sturdy leather
journal that can withstand the rough and tumble or rugged outdoor terrain
~ encourage kids to write each day, point out changes in location, diffeent
people they met and noting weather changes, different timezone arrivals
etc
~ Some kids enjoy a travel writing routine of once in the morning and
once before bedtime but others like Maya prefer to be a spontanoeus"Travel
Writer" when the muse strikes and adventures are still fresh in their
mind
~ a travel diary can be a good starting point for writing a travel journal
when you get back to your hotel or vacation resort or indeed back home.
It might just contain enough vacation snippets tho spark off the kids
memory and filling in more ellaborate details in their travel jounral
or vacation scrapbook later
~ kids love secrets so you might like to look at lockable travel diaries
that make it extra special, often they come wit a little padlock and the
kids privacy can be ensured ( they might not want to tell you about that
first vacation crush ;-)
~ If your kids need a little help getting started with their travel diary
kid writing prompts might spark off their imagination

Perfect Family Vacation Idea |
Maya has kept travel
diaries since she was very little, starting with little mini journals where
she drew what she saw to illustrated story journals. The right equipment
for the type of family vacation you have planned is a good start, think
about how you travel, by plane, by car etc and what type of travel diary
kid sizedl fits your circumstance best- it does make a difference especially
where space restrictions occur |
