Good to know
A holiday journal is a gentle way to keep writing over the break: one sentence and one drawing a day is enough. It also makes a great memory book.
If you are travelling, take a few puzzles and the postcard template; if you are staying at home, plan small adventures like a picnic, a library visit or a day at the park.
How to use these
- Pack a few pages and pencils in the beach bag.
