Journal ideas for younger children
Love the idea of journaling with Brooke, but i dont want carter to feel left out. But how can we journal together when he doesnt write or read? Its really pretty simple. We can draw each other pictures and return it to each other when done. I am going to make a journal with him. We will decorate it together and start drawing. After all its the little things we do that make great memories and help us bond. This will be a cute keepsake as well to look at as our children grow up
Mommy and Me Journal
While browsing on pinterest, as i do many nights after the kids have gone to bed, I stumbled across a mommy and me journal. This is an adventure we will begin as soon as i go shopping and pick up a note book.
This is a special journal that you and your child decorate together. Im thinking lots of glitter pink and purple, you know all the things a girly girl likes.
In this journal you write back and forth to each other. What will we write about? whatever is on our mind. A great way for your child to express themselves,work on writing and reading skills and seems like it could be a great bonding tool.
The first page will read:
Dear Brooke
Lets be pen pals! Instead of mailing letters to each other, we can keep all of our letters here in this special notebook. Doesn't that sound like fun?
I will write to you and when i am finished I will leave the notebook on your bed. Then, when you want to write back to me you can write on the next page. When you are finished, you can leave the notebook on my bed.
You can write about anything! It can be funny or serious! Just write about whatever is on your mind! :-)
Lets have fun, pen pal!
Love,
Mom
P.S. I Hope you write back soon! :-)
This could be a great confidence builder praising her about the good and positive things she has done. Ways to tell her i am proud of her. I will write positive letters but she will be able to express anything, even something bothering her which would then give me another method or tool to help support and encourage my favorite little girl. I am very excited to do this with her
