- Surprise packages:
- Prepare paper bags of items to be given out at various points along the journey. Mark them up on a map - it takes a little bit of preparation but it can help children understand where they are going.
- In each bag put a wrapped item: a small toy, a food or drink treat, something relevant to the trip which you can talk about.
- Create a travel diary or journal:
- It doesn't need to be complicated; the simpler the better.
- You need a spiral bound sketch pad and a box of crayons or markers for each child.
- Each day of the trip, or for each event along the way, have them draw a picture of what they did that day, and write about it.
- You can also paste in souvenirs such as brochures, ticket stubs and other mementos.
- If your child isn't old enough to write, then you can help by offering to write a caption.
