Are you a traveling family, or do you have a trip coming up soon with your kids? You can probably tell from my recent posts and my blog that our family loves reading and we love to travel. Lately Lily is a series that is perfect for your kids who love to travel or are getting ready to travel. And, we’re giving away the set in our new Read & Go Summer Reading Challenge giveaway! (affiliate links included)
Lately Lily: The Adventures of the Travelling Girl is a beautifully illustrated book about a girl named Lily and her traveling life. Laying on a blanket in the sun, we read through her adventures and talked about her life. My girls really enjoyed seeing the parallels of their travel experiences and Lily’s. Meeting new friends while traveling is one of Grace’s favorite things, and Lily’s too it appears! Faith enjoyed seeing Lily’s best friend Zeborah along for the ride as Faith never travels without a stuffed friend coming along.
When you’re ready to head out on your trip, the Lately Lily Sunny Yellow Suitcase is the perfect travel activity to take along. The passport is a sort of journal for your kids to fill out along the way, and there are 24 activity cards that will encourage and inspire your kids to enjoy and capture the memories of their travels. The suitcase also includes two luggage tags that my girls couldn’t wait to decorate and add to their luggage.
If you have younger kids, the Travel Flash Cards are a great way to learn letters and see visual examples of common travel things. I have to admit I’m partial to the suitcase card! Faith loved flipping through the cards and guessing what the letter would represent about travel. The cards are also thick cardboard, so they’ll hold up well to little munchkin hands.
After sitting with my girls and reading through all these great Lately Lily items, I’m so happy we have them included in our Book Bundle Giveaway! They’re sure to bring a smile to your child’s face and help them see the joy of travel. Be sure to visit Amazon and see the full Lately Lily collection.
This is going to be my go to birthday gift to the little girls in my life!
I think they’d love to receive it! Such a great series!
I loved the book But No Elephants as a kid and read it to my daughter all the time now
Lately Lily is one of our favorite travel books for kids! My 8 year now loves to read it on her own. I had no idea the suitcase with activity cards even existed, it looks like a great activity.
