Don't do this—don't bring your kids on trips.

Wrong, wrong, wrong!!

Check out what foreign parents do with their kids after coming back from a trip.

Mom and dad find some cardboard and white paper, bind them together, and you’ve got a travel scrapbook. Doing crafts with your child will make them super happy.

You can also just buy one ready-made from a stationery store. Hehe, an ordinary one is fine too.

Print out the travel photos from your phone, stick them in, label the places you visited, wow—just like that, you’ve got a travel scrapbook. Haha, isn’t it adorable?

For older kids, you can make it more complex, like the example below, adding text, writing about fun experiences, feelings, and thoughts.

While doing crafts, you’re also helping your child improve their composition, design, and aesthetic skills in a fun way. Xiao Pai is totally impressed—the creativity of foreign parents is amazing.

The easiest way is to find a map, ask your child where we went, and have them place the corresponding photos on the places you visited. The little one will have a blast.

Dad can use pins and thread to mark out the travel route with the child. Tell the child how we set off along this path, through fields, flying over rice paddies. Wow, isn’t that romantic?

Mom can stitch out the travel route with the child using a needle.

On one map, use different colored threads for each trip, and eventually it’ll turn into a rainbow-like web. So pretty.

You can also draw a map on a small blackboard.

Have the child color in the places they’ve been with their favorite colors. When the color blocks are all filled, it means they've been to those places.

The example below is a U.S. map, but mom and dad can switch it out for a map of China or any other place. Coloring contest starts now—isn’t it more fun than Secret Garden?

Travel always involves visiting attractions, and attractions always have tickets.

Foreign parents handle tickets like this: find a nice bottle and have the child put them in.

Or just place them directly in a glass photo frame and hang it on the wall as decoration:

Or stick them up one by one to create an interesting and nice-looking picture.

Bottles and frames can be bought at supermarkets or home stores, very convenient.

Actually, kids love traveling even more than adults, and they love buying travel souvenirs. They often buy things everywhere they go, and many kids, caught up in the moment, end up losing them after getting home.

This is when parents can help the child organize these shopping treasures in a meaningful way—the child will really enjoy it.

For kids who like collecting coins from different travel destinations, turning them into decorations is more meaningful than just tossing them in a piggy bank. Isn’t that more stylish?

For kids who love buying keychains—one from every place they visit—hang them up in a frame:

For kids who love collecting mugs, find a wall...

Don’t underestimate this wall—it’s covered with a child’s curiosity and love for the world.

For kids who can’t stop picking up seashells at the beach:

Have your child paint the shells in different colors—ha, their bold and dreamy color combinations are totally little Picasso material, right?

Place seashells and starfish inside candle lamps and hang them up:

Or string them up like wind chimes:

For kids who don’t just collect one type of thing but love everything, you can find a storage compartment and have them put all their travel souvenirs in there, just like this. Isn’t it pretty too?

Foreign parents say on travel websites:

When you travel with your kids, the sand washes off, the suntan fades little by little, but only the memories remain—and they never fade away.

When we get back from our trip, let’s not just post on social media. Do this instead—preserve those happy, love-filled travel memories. Mwah.
