Valuable Memories!


Make some memories while you are with you children. Travel scrapbooks are a favorite with kids. give each child a large, spiral-bound pad of unlined paper and colored pencils.

Start by having each of them draw a picture of what they've done that day. then they can embellish the scene by taping or gluing on a few of the things the've picked up during the day--ticket stubs, postcrds, and other tokens.

To finish, they can write a sence or two about the day--you can ask younger children what they'd like to say and write it for them--then add a date and location to each page. these scrapbooks, like the road trips that inspired them, become family treasures.

Today's families are so busy runnig from activity to activity that a road trip is one of the few times with our kids.
