The more fun we can make these journals, the more kids will actually write in them. If parents can get their kids journaling, it will go a long way towards making school and life more interesting for them, Thanks for adding some new ideas, Mary.

This is a fun way to help children develop writing and journaling skills. My grandson likes to carry a notebook with him when he goes on trips. He writes in it kind of like a diary. I hope he keeps his notebooks to read later in life. Thank you for sharing how to make an interesting and memorable journal for kids. Another skill that could be added to this would be to make the book itself. If you purchase a composition book, your child could pick out a themed paper of their choice and cover the composition book with it. I like to have one kind of beautiful printed paper (like scrap booking paper) on the front and back cover. Then a complementary kind of paper on both the inside of the front and back covers. You can find paper with travel themes - like maps, fish or beach scenes and that would be fun. Or maybe a western theme or city theme. Funny as it sounds, I use electrical tape (black) to cover the spine of the book. It protects the edges of the paper and gives the covered book a finished look.
