The Summer Memory Book

On the first day of school every year, children are always expects to recount what they did during the summer. This year help your child share their fun summer experiences with a Summer Memory book. It is a wonderful way to document places they have visited, books they read or fun activities they did with friends or family. Start by giving them a disposable camera to capture special moments that you might miss and direct them to collect in a box anything that you can use to tell a story about what they did. This can be things like ticket stubs for movies or concerts, sea shells from the beach or flowers they picked while out exploring. Each month sit down with them and create a new page in the book of different experiences. Past photos, collected items and write a brief synopsis of the summer.
