The Mom I Want to Be

Kids love to collect stuff, especially when they’re on vacation. Here are some great ways to organize and display their treasures.

 

Map It Out

 

Remember vacation destinations by retracing your steps.

 

 

Purchase a laminated map of your travel destination. Draw your route on the map with puff paint. Attach souvenirs. Tape or glue postcards to the map; attach heavier items with brass fasteners, or punch holes in the map and hang items with paper clips or string.

 

Fun in a Frame

 

Remake your travel location by collecting memories in a frame

 

 

Purchase a clear plastic box frame. Remove the lid. For a background, glue a map of your travel location to the inside of the frame. Add souvenirs such as ticket stubs, postcards, and photographs, then replace the lid and attach more items to the outside. Hang your collection on a wall or place it on a desk.

 

Kit and Caboodle

 

Bring vacations wherever you go with this crafty carrying case. 

 

 

Before your trip, purchase a plastic carrying case. As you travel, place all your great collectible items in it. When you get home, open it and arrange your souvenirs on the shelves and in the bins of the case. Make it your own by decorating with puff paint
