Why

Make and save your memories on vacation, at camp—or wherever and whenever you go away!

Steps

  1. 1. These three accessories are perfect for preserving your good times. Make them all, before or after your trip.
  2. 2. Postcard Pouch. Postcards deserve a special place! To make a pouch to organize them, fold Crayola Color Surge™ Paper in half. Decorate the pouch with Color Surge Markers and foam pieces. Punch holes along both sides. Lace with ribbon. Embellish with Glitter Glue. Air-dry the glue.
  3. 3. Treasure Box. Looking for a spot to keep travel or camp treasures? Glue pieces of decorated Color Surge Paper and ribbon onto a recycled cardboard box to make a keepsake box. Air-dry the glue. Place your pictures, souvenirs, and other mementos inside.
  4. 4. Tiny Tee. Create a vacation shirt you can’t outgrow! Cut out a thin cardboard T-shirt or use a paper maché T-shirt ornament. Color your T-shirt with Crayola True to Life™ Markers. Decorate the tee with vacation-inspired designs and foam stickers. Punch a hole to add ribbon. Display your tiny tee in your room, on a backpack, or on a holiday tree.
  5. 5. Pack all your vacation-themed crafts into a tote bag like the one you can make in Vacation Take-Along Pack!

When & Where

"My son collects museum picture cards, so he created a whole set of Postcard Pouches with different themes! "
- Alex R., dad of 10-year-old.

"At last! A clever, colorful way to organize all of those ticket stubs, national park brochures, and other stuff our kids collect on vacation."
- Rich and Betsy D., parents of ages 7 and 9.

Interesting Info

Most developed countries, except for the United States, mandate that workers be given a minimum amount of vacation time each year. Three weeks or more are typical holidays in Canada and Europe. In contrast, workers in the U.S. often don’t even use any vacation days!

Safety Guidelines

Glitter Glue— WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD—Small parts. Not for children under 3 years. Not for use on skin.

Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.

String-Like Materials—Includes string, raffia, lacing, yarn, ribbon, and other similar material. Children 3 years and younger should not be given any string-like material that is longer than 12 inches. Close adult supervision is essential whenever children use string-like material. When crafts are to be worn around the necks of children 8 years and younger, attach the ends of the “string-like material” with clear adhesive tape, which allows easy release of the bond if the craft becomes entangled or caught on equipment. For children older than 8 years, the ends of the “string-like material” may be tied and knotted.
