Safari Adventure Journal

Whether on the Savanna or in the jungle, a safari is always an adventure! Track a trip to distant lands or write a report in this handmade journal.

1. What do you think of when you hear the word safari? Exotic landscapes or intriguing animals? This journal is an excellent way to keep track of your ideas and even turn in assignments that capture attention!

2. Draw safari wildlife using Crayola® Erasable Colored Pencils on construction paper. Erase until you’re happy with your cover illustrations.

3. Highlight areas with Crayola Gel Markers so features pop out. Breathe depth and texture into your cover using Crayola Twistables for shading and shadows.

4. Fold the paper in half to create your cover. Fold white paper in half for the journal’s interior pages. Tuck these inside your cover.

5. With Crayola Scissors, cut raffia. Place it along the centerfold. Tie the ends together. Fill your journal with vacation memories, poetry, sketches of your friends, or anything you like.

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.

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.

"Our children make safari journals before we go on family adventures. They list things to look for and interesting information about each stop."
Brigitte J., mother of 7-and 9-year-olds.

"When we suddenly cancelled a trip, the children wrote journals as if they had gone. We shared them every night at dinner. "
Guglielmo L., father of 8-and 12-year-olds.

The word safari comes from the Arabic Safar Iy meaning trip. Starting in the early 20th century, the term was used to mean a caravan with equipment for a hunting expedition.
