I have always been a fan of journals and notebooks that encourage you to record some memory or some thought daily.  I like them for me, personally.  And – I like them for the kids as students.  Sometimes I create journal topics myself for the kids to use in their school work and some years I know it will be much more productive to purchase an already planned journal for the kids to use.

This Timberdoodle journal – Doodle Your Day – was given to my family in exchange for a review and it is one of the items in the box that the kids almost fought over.  In the end, London received the journal as her own and uses it daily.

 

 

Each day there is an assigned “doodle” for that day.  It’s a beyond-easy way to have your kids regularly be creative and simultaneously think a little about the life they are currently living.

Honestly – this book is so self-explanatory that a review seems almost beside the point.

The topics in the journal vary and almost each day London actually finds them amusing or interesting.  She has yet to complain about adding her small doodles each day, although of course, some topics draw her in more than others.

 

 

If you are a family that gives books as Christmas presents like we do – this would actually be an engaging choice.

Just because this review is shorter than some of my others does NOT mean this book isn’t a terrific little find.

It really is a terrific little find.

You can buy it here from Timberdoodle.

 

 

It also comes as part of the 6th grade curriculum set.  I don’t think it’s limited to that grade though, by any means.  London is totally enjoying it in eighth grade and I think any of the kids in my homeschool – from second grade on up – would love it.  I am seriously considering it as the next journal for Bergen when he completes the listing one he is currently using.

It’s been a total and simple success for us!
