We’re traveling to the United Kingdom on our first Adventure!

Here are some great books about the United Kingdom and London that we enjoyed reading.
  

We are so lucky that we were able to visit England a few years ago to visit both sides of our family for an extended stay.  We were able to do both the tourist part of United Kingdom and also the Family side of the United Kingdom.  Our craft has a more personal side to it, but you can easily do this with our photos or downloaded images.

 

Make Your Own Lugguage
For our Craft we created a memory luggage book so that my daughter could recreate her memories of the UK, you could easily do this with any vacation you take or dream of taking.  You can create your own Coloring Book from any where around the world.  We chose important sights and symbols of the United Kingdom for our book.  We colored a double decker bus, a telephone booth, the London Bridge, Big Ben, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Warwick Castle, Buckingham Palace and the United Kingdom Flag.  We also created a suitcase to keep all of our treasures in and colored the flag of the United Kingdom on the front.  Once my daughter colored her pictures she cut up the words and we matched them up with the correct picture.  We just used Picasa program to create a pencil sketch with our own photos. Here’s a book for inspirations to learn how to drawn your own Sights and Symbols!

Play Time Around the World with Toys
Whenever you’re going on a trip it’s always a good idea to find something before hand or during your trip that relates to the place you’re visiting.  We found this adorable teddy bear and  double decker bus on our trip.  We always try to grab postcards too!  It’s nice for something for her to hold and remember her trip.  Plus we can recreate our trip during playtime.  You can create places around the world with blocks and legos. Using those same pictures from  your book you can attach them to containers to create the buildings.
