What is the passport program? Well, three times a week, Michael's features a craft event. Each one of the events pertains to a different country. The events are Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm.
Want to get the most out of the program? We have attended every single event for the past two years, but we do it a little differently... Every country means that my kids are learning about a new country before the event. I used A Trip Around the World as well as the other 2 books that come after it (Another Trip and A New Trip). After my kids learned about the country, they then went to Michael's to do the craft that goes with that country. We have collected all of the activity sheets and crafts into binders using page protectors and separated by continent and then country.
Some of the countries they are doing this year are the same as ones they did in past years, but the crafts are new. Check out your local Michael's, and get there early!
