Tips to Make the Most Out of Family Outings this Holiday Season
This time of year many of us venture out and do unique things with our families. There are various parks, museums, and events we get the opportunity to attend. In the digital age we live in many of us are taking pictures to capture our memories. They are such fun to look back at and share. However I’d love to add my “Spin” to the idea and suggest that you encourage your child to write about their experiences to make their own book. We have quite a collection of homemade books that my daughter has made over the years and I’m excited that my younger one is now starting to create her own books with me.

What a great idea! What a great way to reflect and have great memories to look back on.
Great ideas. In my daughter's second grade, they have "Weekend News" journal exercise on Mondays, where the kids are encouraged to write about the events of that weekend. We haven't seen the journal yet – I expect it will be given to us in the end of the year, but we often discuss on Sunday the highlights of our weekend, so daughter has some ideas what to write about on Monday.
Great writing prompt. I was going to have the boys write about our summer adventures but never got around to it! Maybe they could revisit them with the pictures, though 😉
What a fun way to remember outings!
This is perfect! We just went on a field trip today and I am going to use your tips to get my daughter to make a book about our trip 🙂 Thank you for sharing your post!
Thank you for hosting the link-up too!
Love your book prompts!
Love your family books. My kiddos write in their journals every day. Through the years the journals have turned into special keepsakes that chronicle our lives through the eyes of the children. They often write about our family outings and field trips.
