At our house we love learning about different countries and cultures. Although we would LOVE to travel around the world right now, it's just not feasible for a family with four pretty young children. Plus, I want them to actually remember the experiences they have, so what's the rush, right?
In the meantime, I have given them some experiences to help gear them up, and we had a blast!
A few years ago we went to Paris. We started with a visit to a café, where we spoke some français and ate baguettes et tartes! C'était magnifique! Of course we had to dress up so we didn't appear too touristy:
We then visited some of the hot spots, such as the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame. A photo shoot was absolutely necessary (via pulling up a picture on our television). There were many, many, many pictures taken of these little hams:
To finish our little tour, we watched a lovely (and very child appropriate) version of the can-can and we tried our skills at doing some kicks.
Simple, cheap, and so fun. We made some wonderful memories without leaving home! The possibilities are endless with a little imagination. Happy travels!
