Kid’s Diary

Here’s a fun project for summer - a Craft Foam Diary that you can decorate in many different ways, plus printable diary pages to fit inside it. Of course, if you prefer a lined or blank notebook, you can cut down paper to suit.

I think this craft might be a nice one to try with a group of friends, so if you’re having kids over for a pajama party, or are just hanging out and feeling bored, buy a pack of craft foam from the dollar store and have at it! Although I called this a girl’s diary, it seems I was wrong to leave out the guys, because at least one guy liked it enough to try his own version. I don’t see why not. Leave it plain, cover it with stickers, or whatever…just make the diary your own, however you like it!

The Denim Dairy Cover, shown at right, is a little more challenging, but a great way to recycle worn out jeans. It is designed to cover a purchased diary or journal, and features a tab closure made from the waistband of your old jeans, plus a front jeans pocket that is handy for storing small notes or your diary pencil.
