So my family of four is off on our first ever family vacation to somewhere else other than camp (which we love). We are off to Arizona to thaw out and spend some quality time with my husbands family so OF COURSE I have to think of a fun craft related to family vacations and here it is! (please note I did not think of this one myself, I was at Rosenort Moms Group and Karen Hildebrandt gave me the idea, and I didn't have a camera so you have to use your imagination)
Road Trip on a String
First get yourself some elastic or you can use string or yarn. I prefered elastic because then you can stretch it the length of your vehicle
Next make yourself a little paper car or van to represent your happy family vehicle! I got this template googling "paper van"
Next write, or type all of the major cities and stops you will be driving through and cut them out leaving lots of paper on the top and bottom of the writing. (i cut mine out in the shape of the state or province we are driving through)
Next tape or hot glue gun(love that glue gun!!) all your destinations on your elastic or string and place your vehicle around the elastic so that it can move freely. (sorry I have NO picture to show)
Now you have a fun way of showing your kids how far we have come, whats coming up and how far you have to go!! Hope it inspires you! Thanks for taking interest.
