Children and adults, both, enjoy collecting stamps from different
countries on their passports. One can look throughout the passport to
recall the places one has traveled but there are many children who might
not have traveled abroad and have no idea about a passport. The use of
pretend passports for children serves as a leaning tool for such
children. Underlying are some tips which would help in making these
passports for your children.
Computers have entered into the field of creative designing, so it is
advisable to use computer design software for designing your pretend
passports for children. You will need a paper of size 5-by-7-inch paper
folded in half for creating a 5-by-3.5-inch passport book. The next step
would be the creation of three 5-by-7-inch page for designing the cover
of the passport as well as the passport pages. The pages should be
adjusted so as they are of 5 inches in height and 7 inches in width.
After adjusting the pages as required for the pretend passports for
children, you will be required to draw a line down the center of the
page, thereby creating two 5 by 3.5-inch partitions on the page.
Get it
printed on standard size paper and cut it down to the required size.
Treat the first page as the cover of the passport and work on it. Once
folded, the right half of the page will be and serves as the cover of
the passport. On the right half of the passport, across the top, you can
write the word PASSPORT and at the bottom you can write the name of the
country to which the passport belongs to, by using text.
Keep space in the mid portion of the page for drawing a country seal
after getting the passport printed. An actual passport may be referred
to. Get the cover of the passport printed for as many copies as you
need. On cardstock, print the cover of the passport. Print the required
number of copies as needed. The remaining pages should be designed as
the middle pages for the pretend Passports for Children. You can also place a digital picture of the child at the bottom left corner.
The last page should be created as usually with the computer as the
Visas should be printed on the top of the page. Six copies of the page
should be extracted for each child. The printed pages should be cut down
to 5-by-7 inches. Arrange all the pages on top of one another keeping
the cover at the bottom. The page bearing the picture should be on top
of the cover. After folding the pages, staple twice along the line which
has been created to pages into two equal haves.
