My mom & pops took their RV to Baja for 27 days. Before she left she gave the boys felt storyboards that she picked up at Lakeshore Learning Supplies. (This link is for a whole set, I'd call for individual boards) Free's was a sweet version of Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Which, for a 3 year-old, is the perfect 1-week calendar. Do you know this story? "On Wednesday, he ate through 3 strawberries..."
For True she got a blank board, then made a bunch of little felt images to match her itinerary! He labeled the months & dates. She included maps from the internet, & made a calendar with pictures for us to follow along each day. I wish I had been more organized to add food, music & stories last month, but I suppose we can do that with her when she shows us the slideshow...
What a great idea. We travel a lot and have the same sort of felt board...may need to do something like this soon...thanks for the inspiration!
