We are using a sketch book (plain unlined paper) as our journal. My daughter decorated a piece of paper and we glued in on the front for her cover.
I explained a journal is a place to write or draw about things you have been doing, things you want to do and feelings you have. We talked about what she did this week and specifically yesterday. She drew her picture and then told me what to write while I wrote. I showed her the special spot we would keep her journal and told her she could write in it any day she wanted to but only one page a day. We will also use it regularly on Sunday afternoons.

This is so nice!
I recently started a journal with my 4-year-old too. I haven't been good about consistently writing in it, though.
My daughter did this with her kindy class; I was one of the volunteers who came in to write under the children's pictures for them. That journal is one of my most treasured possessions now - it brings back such sweet memories. Thanks for the reminder that I need to have my 4-year-old begin one!
Wonderful idea! I will start that tomorrow!
Lovely! You've inspired us to start one too!
Thanks! I decided I should really start my own journal and write during this time too- lead by example, right?
