━━ HOW IT WORKS ━━
1. Purchase and download your files from Etsy (Purchases and reviews).
2. Print at "Actual size". Print one passport and one stamp sheet for each child.
3. Visit one country a day: find it on the map, read the country page, do the activity and the quick check.
4. Cut out the stamp and glue it in the passport. Finish with the games, the journal and the World Traveler certificate.
