Summer Travel Make a State Vacation Book

While traveling this on vacation, be sure to make up an interactive book that your child can fill in during the vacation. Pre-printing stickers with a state's flag, bird, tree, etc will make adding this information to a page in the book very easy. Print off a map of the state so the child can trace the journey, place the capital and add points of interest they saw or visited while traveling. Coloring pages from special locations in the state can be used to fill the time spent riding in the car. Print off some historical information to read or a time line of historical events to allow the child to learn more about the state's history. Be sure to include a page that has information on an historical figure from that state. Include lots of blank pages so the child can add photos, souvenirs, draw pictures and journal about their vacation time in that state. These make great learning tools and wonderful scrapbooks to save and savor the fun family times.
