Armed with all of the items above, we traipsed around all of our destinations over the nearly 7 week break and recorded all sorts of things. It was also a good opportunity for him to keep practicing his writing while he was off school.
We collected postcards, leaflets, tickets, stickers and the like as we were out and about and also printed out a few photos we took to add to the book. We managed to do a page, or part of a page, almost every day.
Do you do any holiday projects at home? I'm really pleased we stuck with this one as it's now a really good record of a (mostly!) enjoyable few weeks!

The scrapbook looks lovely. Glad you both enjoyed doing it, and well done for keeping going all holiday!
ReplyDeleteWe started a holiday scrapbook (as in our summer holiday) the first summer my son was at school. (Mainly to keep practising the writing!) It became a tradition that we completed (or at least started!) a holiday book each year, but only ever for our two weeks away. Still great memories, though, and a record of the progress made in writing and drawing. (by 3 children who all took Art GCSE and 2 of whom took Art A levels. The 3rd took Photography at A level. So, who knows what it might lead to!!) It was also somewhere to put all those tickets, etc, that you often collect on holiday.

His writing has definitely improved over the course of the holiday - when I'd expected it to deteriorate!! Not sure if we'll manage to keep going for the whole of the summer every year but I really like the idea of having something to look back on.
