get your children journaling

Did you see this in Real Simple?  I thought it was genius!

What a fabulous way to get your children journaling.  How?  Simple!

  1. keep a small notebook close by with colored pencils or crayons
  2. each evening ask, “what color was your day?”
  3. let your child choose a color and get to work
  4. finish by asking a simple question about their ‘color’
  5. jot their answer down on a label

I’m definitely going to add this to my ‘post-bwp‘ goals … love it!  Anyone know where I can get a good journal?  ;)

    Oh!! Looooooooove that idea!

    As far as journals . . .I like their suggestion of a Moleskin. Those are nice an durable and come in all sorts of sizes. I think B&N even carries them! Then I’d stock up on some colored Smencils, because they smell yummy and kids can’t resist them! You’d have a fabulous journal by summer’s end!!
