Journaling for kids

Kids journaling

Journaling is a great way for kids to practice writing and record thoughts and memories that mean a lot to us and help our self esteem.

Unicorn journal

Nothing is more special than looking through a journal from the past, and with families spending more time at home, now is a great time to start.

Last year I created my Unicorn Ellie journal download page

Why mum found a list of 52 journal questions so at least 1 a week, to help give ideas that are perfect for kids. If your child hasn’t quite learned to write yet, you can always use these as writing practice, or you can help write their answers so they can read them when they’re older.

Here we go!

1. Who is one person that you look up to and why?
2. What is your favorite memory? Write down as many details as you can remember.
3. What is one thing about today that surprised you?
4. What is one mistake you made today and what did you learn from it?
5. What are three things you’re grateful for?
6. If you could spend one day doing anything you want, what would you do?
7. What is one thing that helps you when you’re worried?
8. If you could have any pet (even a magical creature like a dragon or unicorn), what would you want? What name would you give it?
9. What’s one goal or challenge you have for yourself this week? How will you accomplish it?
10. Think about your favorite hobby or activity. Why do you love it?
11. What’s one thing that always makes you laugh?

15. Write about your favorite holiday. Why is it your favorite? What’s your happiest memory associated with it?
16. Would you rather it always be summer, spring, fall, or winter? Why?
17. If you could tell your family one thing that’s been on your mind lately, what would you say?

Have a break from Screen Time

Reduce screen time for kids

Sometimes my mum likes to say ‘play on your i pad when she needs to get something done hehe!

But then she says ‘Have a break from screen time’! Lol!

Unicorn Laugh

Screen time can be fun, but too much can be bad for us.

Ipads and phones send out something called blue light which can stop us from sleeping.

We could get addicted and always want to be on the same game and we sometimes don’t listen when our parents are speaking to us.

At home now I use my timer for how long I can be on my ipad.

Here s are some more great ideas!

Do a Scavenger Hunt either in the house or outside!

Get your mum, dad or sister to write a list of things to find and tick off, fresh air is good for you so its cool to do it when you are on a walk.

Here is one my mum made.

Scavenger Hunt

A tree as tall as a house

A pub sign

A cat

A dog

A Feather

A post box on a gate

A gold or silver house sign

A house number with a 6 in it

Someone riding a bike

A bench people can sit on

Draw a picture

Art is fun too, if I can’t think of what to draw I draw UNICORNS of course or one of my pets!

Play with a toy you’ve not played with for ages

I got Myla the Unicorn 2 years ago and she was in the bottom of a pile in my play room so I got her out and played with her for hours at the weekend.

Write a Journal

It helps with your hand writing and makes you think of fun things you have done or write your feelings down if something is bothering you and it can help with your self esteem which means feeling good about yourself.

Do some Unicorn Yoga

Yoga is fun and it helps keep your body fit and have a good stretch
