My parents have recently taken off on the trip of a lifetime around Europe and the UK.
While Mamma and Papa, as the girls call them, make their way around Europe we will be playing along at home.
I have made up a special map to trace Mamma and Papa's footsteps around the continent. Like most things I make for the girls, this map has been made in collaboration with Ava. I provide the technical skills (using a computer, laminator and scissors!) and she provides the artistic touches.
 |
| Where are Mamma & Papa today? Let's check the map... |
 |
| Mamma & Papa visit the City of Light |
 |
| Mamma & Papa in Rome |
 |
| Mamma & Papa in Heidelberg |
 |
| Mamma & Papa will be spending lots of time in London |
A small portrait of my parents (drawn by Ava) will make its way around the map stopping at all the same locations as the real Mamma & Papa.
 |
| Mamma and Papa - I love that they are wearing matching wedding rings :) |
Ava has drawn pictures of famous landmarks that Mamma and Papa will see along the way; Eiffel Tower, Colosseum, Big Ben... These landmarks plus a few other items have been added to the map to make it a little more fun and to help Ava with locations. A little artistic license has been taken with the exact locations on the map. It has to look pretty after all :)

| Mamma & Papa with the Arc de Triomphe and Eiffel Tower |

First stop on the map for Mamma and Papa? London!
