When I was little I collected keychains of all of the places we would go to visit, I would come home and ad them to my gigantic key ring collection. The only problem, they were all mashed together in a clump and the only way you could see them was if you sat down and flipped through each one of them. Fast forward many many years and I now have a 3 year old and I want her to capture her memories of places we've been.
Last year we took a trip to a local museum and my mom purchased a magnet for her so she would remember where she went - so the collection was born. So now every where we go, as long as we remember, she gets a new magnet to add to her collection. We are going to be moving in September to a new home and we plan on getting her some magnetic boards to hang in her room so she can easily display and see her collection......unlike my large key ring!
Yes back in the day it was sticker books and key chain collections now it has blossomed into magnets and postcards. I think the latter is better and easier to share when friends might happen by for a visit :)
