 As part of the Passport to Imagination program, children  make crafts representing different countries, like a Moai for easter Island-South America  and an Aboriginal Turtle for Australia. For each country that they "travel" to, children will be able to make and take two items.

Additionally, there  is a suggested take-home project that families may opt to do together. Within the passport books, you and your child have the opportunity to learn about the countries, their culture, and then make items that represent them. 

Today my 12 and 6 year old daughters participated in the North American Journey, judging from just today's experience it is well worth the $4 I spent. Not only did they complete beautiful Grand Canyon Drawings (USA) and make Hockey Sticks (Canada) but they also learned fun facts about our continent, as well as, how hot air balloons work! Hopefully some time this week we will be able to create the at-home project, making a Bald Eagle! 

They are a little bummed out that they will not be able to attend all the weekly events but my oldest was invited back as a helper so we are going to attempt to attend as many as possible. Some of the projects in the Passport to Imagination booklet are completely doable at home whereas others are probably best done at the in-store events. 

Well, it is past midnight and I have a wicked busy day ahead of me tomorrow. Hopefully, I will have time to post some pictures of their awesome Grand Canyons tomorrow night!
