Journal Writing Prompts For Kids– Included Gifted Items
For as long as I can remember my Mother kept a journal. In fact I loved to read the quotes and words she recorded about me and my sister when we were little. I began writing a journal at the age of 13 and never stopped.
Journal writing for me is a great way to relax and get my worries, concerns, hopes, achievements and stories written and recorded for the future generations. Somedays writing a journal entry can come naturally. I’ll have a lot to say but other days it’s helpful to have a writing prompt or a question to help me.
Today I will share 10 journal writing prompts for kids. This is a great way to encourage children to write a journal as well as encouraging literacy skills and development. Any kind of writing activity is great for kids!
A New Journal For Writing
Before I begin I’d love to share my brand new Journal from Pen Heaven. I’m excited to be using this to record my own journal entries over the coming weeks and months. I ordered a Chianti Large Leather Journal which I absolutely love.
My new Journal is tan colored, is made from genuine leather in Italy and the pages are acid-free meaning I can use any kind of ink or pencil lead in my new Journal. I also received a brand new Cross Wanderlust ballpoint pen. I’ve had this pen before and I lost it so I was super excited to get this fantastic pen to use alongside my journal and these writing prompts. It’s the best pen I’ve ever had! I love it.
