So, you’re headed off on a family holiday! Yay! A travel journal is the perfect way to keep the kids engaged and entertained -- and to encourage them to reflect on their experiences. Kids will reflect on their day and their experiences and record the things that stood out to them. It is a creative activity, with writing and drawing, that provides a thoughtful, reflective and quiet activity. The journal will also create a lasting keepsake, filled with wonderfully detailed memories, to remind you and your kids about their experiences - and what they thought about them. With four pages to complete for each day, this journal provides a creative format with plenty of space to record their thoughts. Rather than facing a blank page, kids can get started answering the specific prompts which are carefully crafted to get them thinking about everything they’ve done on that day. They will record the day and where they are. They’ll circle pictures to record how they travelled (by car, on foot, etc). They’ll make quick notes of three things they saw that day and do a one-minute sketch of something from their day. They will circle emojis to describe what the weather was like and colour in a thermometer to describe the temperature. They will record something they ate today . They’ll draw a face to describe how they’re feeling and they’ll rate the whole day out of ten.There are spaces to write down the best thing of the day as well as the worst thing, the most interesting thing and the funniest thing that happened that day. By reflecting on all the things they did and saw that day, kids will be ready to write or draw about their day on the two free journalling pages. They can also use this space to stick in mementos such as tickets, leaves or other small items. This book has over 130 full-colour pages, with journalling instructions and suggestions and four pages, including prompts, for every day for over 30 days of travel. Who will like this book?The prompts in the book are designed for kids between 7 and 14 years old - but it is a straightforward journal that all ages will enjoy.
