Why Use a Printable Kids Travel Journal
Customize Your Vacation Length
This Kids Travel Journal comes with a preset 10-Day vacation booklet. Activity pages are already positioned between each day’s journal page.
However, not all vacations are 10 days.
With 4 additional journal templates that don’t have the travel day pre-added, you can create your own journal by simply picking which pages to print.
Pick your Preference Journal Pages
You might want to pick which activity and journal pages make the most sense for your child’s age.
Younger kids may not need a journal entry for every day but would love coloring pages.
Older kids may prefer word searches to color by number.
Whether you use the full Kids Journal or pick and choose what you like for each trip, you can easily make adjustments with a digital, printable copy.
Instantly Gain Access to your Kid’s Travel Journal
A benefit of a printable Travel Journal is that you do not need to wait for anything to come in the mail.
Simply make your purchase and download your kids’ new journal.
Easy, done, ready to go!

Why Should Kids Journal
Express Their Creativity
The combination of journaling and activity pages creates a great outlet for expressing creativity.
This kid’s travel journal lets them find fun ways to express their thoughts and excitement about the trip.
A travel journal also gives them an activity to do during vacation downtime.
We all know how important it is to stock up on things kids can do in the car, on the plane, and during quiet time on our family travels.
Process Emotions
Emotions can be a tough topic to talk about.
The phrase “We’re having fun, act like it!” said in an angry, frustrated tone can be heard on many family vacations where the parents are just so worn out from over-tired, over-hungry, over-stimulated kids.
Let them feel bored or homesick.
It’s easy for them to verbalize their feelings with a simple smiley face emotional scale on each travel journal entry page.
Simply circle or color in the face that matches what they feel.
Our daughter picked up most of the smiley faces on her first day of vacation.
I was surprised but was able to recognize and reinforce that it’s ok to feel multiple things at the same time.
You can be sad you miss home, but also happy that you’re having fun. There’s no right or wrong answer.
By introducing this topic early on, you are giving your kid the gift of understanding their emotions and a tool to help communicate with them.
Create a Great Vacation Souvenir
A journal is a great way to look back on a family vacation and smile.
A Kids Travel Journal is an even better way for a kid to look back on once they’re older and see how far they’ve grown.
I love looking back at my other journal entries and schoolwork. It’s great to look at my artwork and projects and see not just how far I’ve come, but also remember that kid in me who created those things once upon a time.
It will be so fun once our girls are older and I can give them their very first Travel Journal to show them what their younger selves were thinking.
Give your kid the gift of preserving their childhood memories for years to come.
