One way your child can treasure his/her special memories from Spring Break or Summer is to create a Memento Box. Just have them use any kind of plain box such as a hat box,A Child's Memento Box Articles shoe box, photo box, etc - just make sure it has a lid. Then have them decorate it with things such as shells from a beach trip, photos with friends, stickers, markers, ticket stubs from a recent movie outing, napkins from a favorite hangout and such.
A good time to decorate it would be a day when nothing is going on.
Then throughout the Spring Break or Summer Vacation your child can insert favorite trinkets, postcards and other treasures. A great time to do this memento box would be when you go on an extended vacation. That way your child can make sure to bring back savored memories with them.
You can bet that this memento box will be treasured. You can even have your son or daughter write the year and date on the box to mark the time in their life forever.
