What would you put in a memory box for your kids?
Hi, I was thinking about making up a kind of memory box for our daughter who will be too young to remember her home here in the UK. I was going to put in a set of coins and some photos of where she was born etc.
What would you put in a memory box? I'd love to know! Katy x

How about some newspapers (local and national), local postcards, brochures for local things of interest, letters to her from friends/family...cant think of anything else right now!

My brain, so they could see how the systematically took it apart over the
years
Only kidding, why not put some local info in like attractions and big events that run in your area.

How about a copy of everything you submitted along with your visa application. Then she can see just how much effort you put in to give her a chance of growing up Australian.
And dont forget her old UK passport and she will have a Aussie one in time no doubt.

Re: What would you put in a memory box for your kids?
Some great ideas! Thanks everyone! I've already started a diary on reasons why we are emigrating and will take lots of photos of friends etc before we go. It's a shame we can't take dried flowers/leaves out with us otherwise I'd make up a collage of wild flowers etc.
Keep your ideas coming!!
