Kids Travel Journal – Printable Vacation Diary & Activity Pages (Ages 6–12)

What you get

Help your child remember every part of the trip. This printable travel journal turns a vacation into a keepsake: kids draw, write, spot, collect and rate their adventures, and come home with a journal full of memories. It works for any kind of trip, by plane, train, car or boat, near or far.

The daily pages come in two levels, so younger and older kids (or siblings) can each use the one that fits them.
