Journaling has several perks: For instance, it’s a wonderful way for your child to explore their feelings and make sense of their emotions and experiences. It’s also a great tool for recording words they don’t know to look up later.
Introduce your child to the benefits of journaling with our book list of interactive notebooks and diaries. Let them personalize their journals with stickers and different colored pencils and pens, as well as artifacts of their treasured memories, including photos, movie tickets, and birthday cards.
Today’s journals aren’t just leather-bound books with blank pages. For example, Raina Telgemeier’s Share Your Smile allows your kid to jot down their thoughts and paste personal photos or drawings in a comic book-style notebook. Video game enthusiasts will love the Minecraft Diary, which will inspire kids to write about their gaming strategies — it even comes with a lock and keys! And fans of heroic pups will like writing in the PAW Patrol Diary and enjoy the fun accessories like erasers and stickers.
Shop journals for kids below to get started! You can find all books and activities at The Scholastic Store.
To inspire your child’s journaling journey, be sure to also check out these diary-themed books like the Owl Diaries Boxed Set and the Diary of a Wimpy Kid Collection.
