As kids go back to school, we thought it would be fun for them to record the first few days of the school year. Use our journal template below to make a miniature journal. We’ve provided some helpful prompts to guide them as they document their lives at this moment.
What You’ll Need:
- Honest History Journal Template
- Scissors
- Markers or colored pencils to decorate
Print out our journal template and fold on the dotted lines. After you’ve folded on all the lines, your paper will be folded into eighths.
Take scissors and cut on the solid line in the middle. First, fold your paper in half to make it easier to cut across the line. When you open your paper, you should have a slit in the middle.
Fold your paper into a journal. Fold your paper lengthwise (along the crease that has the slit). Hold the paper at each end and push the ends in towards each other. The sections will fold into an eight page journal.
Decorate and write in your journal. Use the prompts to design your miniature journal. Create drawings, use stamps, or cut out images and glue them into your journal to make it your own.
