All About Me! Art Journal

This journal is seriously so cute! I am an educator and will definitely look forward to buying a copy of this to use in my classroom. I loved the illustrations and the writing prompts allow students to be creative while still giving structure. I think this would be appropriate for kids 5-12 (with some wiggle room). Definitely a great gift for kids to keep them busy and interested!

This is a great drawing and writing journal that children can add to over time and then look back on in the future. There is a great variety of activities and ideas to help keep kids going, but it is also flexible enough that they can decide what exactly they want to include. It does not have to be done in order and is also not gender specific. There is lots of space to draw and doodle, but many of the pages could be used for writing or drawing. At over 120 pages this book is sure to keep a child busy and entertained for quite a while. Journalling, planning and reflection are also great mindfulness skills for young children and can be used as tools or strategies when facing difficult times. I would highly recommend this book for families of children in the 6-11 age range who are artistic and creative or express interest in having a record of what they were like at their current age to look back on. Or maybe as a parent you really want to provide this kind of memory for your child to look back on.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a sneak peak at this awesome journal that is coming out soon!

It is so freaking cute!
This is the most cutest journal I have ever come across!

Seriously I wanted to cry. It's so cute!

Okay, back to the basics.

I love everything about this journal that would guide the kids to record about themselves as well as what they like and feel.

The journal also provides enough space for updating on their daily activities and habits.

I cannot help it. It's so cute. Forget it. Just get this in dozens as it is undated (which I really appreciate!) and can be used all year round for years!

Thank you, Quarto Publishing Group - Walter Foster, for the advance review copy.

This title could be a fun summer project for a child you know. Kids should love the many extra like stickers, coloring pages and more. They can include info on favorite foods, hobbies, family lore and more. I especially liked that there was a section entitled “Future Me.” Kids are even instructed on how to make a time capsule of this title, so that, many years from now, they can look at what they created and remember their younger self.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Quarto-Walter Foster Jr. Books for this title. All opinions are my own.

What a fantastic idea! I think all young ones should be encouraged to make time capsules of all different kinds. I wish I had!

I love art journals and I love how this one encourages children to express themselves and their individuality. I also really like how the activities help them to discover who they are right now on their journey, and also to contemplate who they might be in the future.

This book is just FUN! I feel like adults and kids alike will love creating in it!! It is well done without being overly wordy.

I love this. Such a cool way to keep to make a journal of such a fun time in their lives. I will be picking this up shortly, great book.
