Simple solutions to help calm the chaos of motherhood

DIY junk journal for kids

Here you’ll find all of our favorite supplies to make a DIY junk journal for kids.

(A junk journal is a journal your kids can make with all the things they collect over the summer: ticket stubs, receipts, brochures, stickers, postcards- anything that reminds them of your summer adventures!)

I made a whole kit with all the supplies my kids will need to make their own junk journal, and it’s all contained in one organized box. It’s the perfect way to save and remember your summer activities all year long.

Supply list

Here are the supplies I used to create this adorable little junk journal kit for my kids:

I love it because it keeps all our supplies organized, but that I could still tuck away in a cabinet when we weren’t using it.

Also, the large bottom compartment is perfect for storing the actual journal, along with whatever papers and souvenirs we collect.
