Take a pretend trip

Take a pretend trip

Take a pretend trip around your house. Find a suitcase your child can pack with all the very important essentials of travel — favorite toys, books, and valuables – obviously, no clothes required. Mom and dad can do that.

Use chairs to make your car since your child has just learned to drive.
Don’t forget to document this trip with digital (of course) pictures of each destination. When you arrive, write postcards home.

Of course, your young traveler will be collecting souvenirs along the way. Don’t forget about that!
Imagine all the possibilities.

Have a great vacation!
