Notebook/Diary for fun facts about friends

Hello!

Learn More

I’m not sure what this is called and I can’t find one, but my daughter had one when she was about 10. It was a diary/Journal/Notebook that had preset questions about their friends. Name, birthday, favourite colour, hobby, favourite food or TV show, pets, what they want to be when they grow up etc etc.
I’d love to find books like this suitable for infants and primary school kids (my grandsons). Any ideas where to look or what to search for?

I used to give my kids an exercise book every year for Christmas. In it, I always wrote on 1 or 2 pages. I included info about their current friends, hobbies, school likes and dislikes, sibling rivalry etc. It was always fun to find and read an old one to see how things have changed

This could be something that you or they could make themselves. You could pre print sheets or write them up in a notebook.

I had this when I was a kid. I’m sure you can still buy something like that. Have you tried the book shops?

That sounds so sweet. I’m sure you could find it on Etsy or have it commissioned there. There are some really adorable baby books to fill in on Etsy.

You can find templates for that sort of thing online. You could then put them into a scrapbook.

Have you searched places like smiggle and office works? With the end of the year approaching journeys like this should start popping up. Good luck

We used to do this by just writing our own questions into a blank notebook and pass it around among friends (20+ years ago). I’m not sure if they have pre-written questions now, but maybe search friendship journal?
