This children’s summer holiday diary contains two pages for every day of the summer holidays, beautifully designed with prompts for those that need them and lots of lovely space for those who prefer to freestyle. Subtle wide lines keep writing neat without intruding upon drawings, and the different areas of the page allow for bite-size journalling suitable for the disjointed musings of the very young as well as those with more of a handle on the art of keeping a diary.

On the left there is a large picture frame just waiting to be filled with details of the day – who they met, what they saw, heard, made, ate, laughed at or loved doing that day, and plenty of space for a few words describing what the picture shows.

On the right, nice wide lines with a suggested theme for each day - lists, targets, descriptions and memories that will get even very tentative writers thinking, writing and appreciating all that they have done. This book is intended from the summer after Reception class upwards, although parents can always do the writing for younger children.

The pages rotate through a rainbow of pastel colours with a different background colour for each day of the week and a different type colour for each week of the holiday. The diary spans Saturday 22 July to Monday 4 September inclusive.

Kept from year to year, these books offer a lovely memory bank and insight into how your child has changed over the years, without the hassle of keeping up with a diary through the rest of the year. A perfect snapshot of the magical six weeks of summer.
