When kids are involved in the process of planning a trip, even if only parts of the itinerary, it keeps them engaged and interested.  It could be doing a little research about the place that they are visiting on vacation, coming up with an activity or even cooking a food item to try, gets them excited for a trip.   Journaling or even talking about these during the planning stages is key to setting the expectations.  It makes sure everyone has a good experience and it is not just the parents dragging the kiddos through endless museums and ancient buildings that the kids have no clue about.  Travel journaling for kids encourages creativity while also making for a great souvenir to look back on.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t know about your kids but mine sure don\u2019t read the big travel books that I like to pour through before a vacation!  A little Google search or an age-appropriate book, watching a movie shot in the city or country you will be traveling to helps kids visualize the trip.  Bringing some coloring pages, a few stickers or a little journal to write things they see and experience might get them more interested in the culture, history, sights of the destination \u2026 who knows they might even suggest a museum or park that they would be interested in visiting. As a bonus, it keeps them busy during those long flights or drives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
