How to Create an Experience Book

Using actual ‘mementos’ from the experience Plan ahead! What is the experience? What activities/steps do you want to highlight in the book? (What do you think would be the most memorable and meaningful-take note of things to remember to collect) Bring a bag to collect objects to represent the the activities from the experience (ie: feeding the goats at the farm--pieces of goat feed or hay) If child is not present to make the book, it can be made when he/she is not there.
