Found this great idea through another blog, Mama Jenn, and had to try it out! You will need:
- basic composition book (purchased at Walmart for about 40 cents)
- craft/scrap book paper
- label-you can download the sticker label on Mama Jenn blog page or create your own
I was able to get all four of mine made in about an hour. (And that includes writing a note to each child!) Basically this is a journal between you and your child where you can share anything you want back and forth. For the younger kids they can draw pictures and this can also be a great way to practice their writing! (Ssshhhh...don't tell them that!)
I am so excited about these journals! The three oldest kids got their journals tonight and I cannot wait to see how this goes over the next few weeks! With four kids one-on-one time with mom is hard to come by so I hope this will help them feel they are getting a little extra one-on-one time through our journal. Not to mention what a great keepsake these will become years from now!
