Journaling For Children

I have been incorporating a daily writing/journaling practice into my life for a few years now. It brings me peace, I am able to work through and express emotions, and I am able to organize my thoughts. Usually I like to write at night when I am winding down for the day but lately I have been writing during the day. My daughter has always been intrigued with my journaling, so I like to keep blank notebooks for her to write and draw in. 
Since beginning a new homeschool year with my daughter, I have decided to incorporate journaling into her school day. Have a look below to see what journals we are using and what I believe you would enjoy using as well.

My daughter has been enjoying her new Your Diary. She loves that it has a lock on it to keep her thoughts private and I love that is a guided diary. She also enjoys free writing and drawing in her Unicorn Diary with the blank pages. 


Here are a few other journals that would be good to incorporate into your child's day. I have friends who practice gratitude jornaling with their children. I've also seen advertisements for this growth mindset journal and I will probably be trying this out soon for my daughter. This question a day journal looks fun to use as well! 


 

This homeschool year is the perfect time to incorporate personal writing and journaling into my daughter's day. She is learning to gather her thoughts and express them in a creative and meaningful way. Do you have children who like to write or journal? Are you a journaling mama? Let me know in the comments below. Until next time!

Wish List Must Have: The Perfect Doll for Pretend Play

Pretend play is a concept that children do very well. They can turn a floor into hot lava and make puppets and dolls seemingly come to life. Through pretending, children learn to develop ideas and concepts, compromise with friends, and they begin to understand scenarios that they may have seen but didn't understand. I would like to share with you the perfect doll for pretend play, Glitter Girls Dolls.

The Review
We received the Keltie Doll, Maren Doll, and the Donut Delivery Scooter for review. *This post contains affiliate links. Purchasing through them, at no further cost to you, helps support TheDailyAprilNAva. At first glance the dolls and scooter were packaged well and the dolls were very pretty! We opened Keltie first, my daughter's favorite. Keltie is such a cute doll, my daughter loves her outfit. Maren was next up and my daughter fell in love with her chef hat. Both dolls are made with quality materials, have hair that is comb-able with a wire brush, and have bendable arms and legs.

The show stopper here was the Donut Delivery Scooter! My daughter's new dream in life is to own a donut shop and deliver them on a scooter! This little toy is fabulous! It is a movable scooter and comes with donuts, donut trays, a helmet, and balloons to attract donut customers. The scooter also lights up and plays music for donut shoppers.
