Description
Kids live extraordinary lives and don’t even know it. The weird thing that happened at lunch. The conversation they overheard at the grocery store. The way the sky looked that one Tuesday afternoon. The dream they had that made no sense but felt important. These are all stories — raw material waiting to be shaped into something creative. This planner teaches kids the most valuable skill any creative can have: paying attention. Inside you’ll find daily ‘Story Catcher’ pages with guided prompts for noticing and recording the interesting moments in everyday life, weekly ‘Observation Missions’ that send kids on mini-adventures (‘Today, find something beautiful that nobody else noticed’), a ‘Feelings Translator’ section for turning emotions into descriptive writing, a ‘Conversation Collector’ for recording funny, weird, or interesting things people say, a ‘Five Senses Challenge’ for building descriptive writing skills through sensory observation, monthly ‘True Story Retelling’ pages where kids take a real experience and write it as a story, illustration and doodle spaces for the visual thinkers, a ‘Dreams & Ideas’ section for the weird and wonderful things that happen inside their heads, and a year-end ‘Greatest Hits’ section for collecting their favorite entries. L.A. Walton always says that the best creative material comes from paying attention to real life. This planner teaches kids to do exactly that — and to love doing it.
