On the back of the postcard have them write their thoughts. It really doesn&#8217;t matter if it&#8217;s a gas station in the middle of Kansas or a wild animal preserve in Australia, your child will have an opinion about it that may surprise you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #888888;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1001\" title=\"Postcard_child\" src=\"https:\/\/bellapamella.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Postcard_child-1.jpg\" alt=\"Postcard_child\" width=\"410\" height=\"306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bellapamella.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Postcard_child-1.jpg 410w, https:\/\/bellapamella.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Postcard_child-1-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 410px) 100vw, 410px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Along the way, or when you return, punch the cards with a paper punch and slide them all onto a binder ring (available at any drugstore, or of course, office supply).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #888888;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1004\" title=\"Postcard_book\" src=\"https:\/\/bellapamella.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Postcard_book-1.jpg\" alt=\"Postcard_book\" width=\"410\" height=\"306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bellapamella.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Postcard_book-1.jpg 410w, https:\/\/bellapamella.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Postcard_book-1-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 410px) 100vw, 410px\" \/>Voila!
