Passport to the world and Peru part 1

Last week at the end of our "trip" to Mexico post I had mentioned that we had our passport stamped Mexico and we were heading to Peru. Well, that got me thinking how cute would it be to actually make her a passport! I had originally planned to just Google and print one I found online but I ended up piecing a few different ones together. Here are some of my favorites that I found.

First I found a passport cover. I like how this one looked pretty legitimate. This site also has a link for inside pages.


The Second passport option is located here. There are cover options and page options as well as stamps on this site. The only thing I disliked about this one was that the didn't look as "real". But if your looking for a quick print this is a great option.

I also found more passport stamps here.

I used the first passport cover and the pages for the second option. There was a size difference but I was able to easily adjust the size down when printing. 

Once you pick what design you like, you should have what you need to put you booklet together. Either use a stapler, brads or yarn. Whatever you have on hand. Just make sure you include plenty of blank pages so you can easily keep track of your travels.

Don't forget to include a picture. If you don't have a picture handy you can always have them draw one in!


 

Passport in hand and we are ready to go!

This is week two of our world tour! One country a week until we wrap up our home school year.

My plans for these lessons will be to:
Learn to find the country on the map
Learn the countries capital
Learn to say Hello in that countries native language
Color a picture of that countries flag
Google search images of that country
Look at the language in a simple way (colors or numbers)
Listen to that countries national anthem
Prepare a traditional meal and/or dessert
Make a craft that represents that country

Here are some pictures from our journey.

Coloring the flag
Our craft this week was cardboard loom weaving. It was a lot of fun, but a lot of work probably better for 8+. But, we did manage to make a pretty great throw rug for her doll house.

That almost wraps up our time in Peru, we just have one last tasty project to share before we depart. 

Have a great Monday!

    1. I didn't realize she was born there! How cool is that! She was pretty excited when I mentioned studying Peru and she and our friend Matt were having a "heated" discussion on which country was cooler. Peru, or Chile :).

      Thanks for stopping by!
