I made the journal in a jar for a 9 year old girl. I used the instructions from this site http://organizedchristmas.com/adult-journal-jar and I adapted the journal questions into British English and printed them with a patterned background onto photo paper. As these jars were for children I wanted to use plastic jars so I bought a jars of sweets at the 99p shop, the sweets were so bad that they went in the bin, but the jars were just right. I printed the jar label and stuck it on with glue dots, I added a few stickers and ribbon to decorate the jar.To complete the present I bought a folder and put together some stickers (from The Works) some glue dot sheets (taken from a larger pack) some scissors and gel pens (Home Bargains) and a notebook with coloured pages (Tesco). I decorated the front of the notebooks and I added some foam stickers to the jar, for the child to decorate the journal. In total it cost about £10 per jar, but you can adapt this depending on your budget.
Here are the question sheets I made, some sheets have girl and boy colour versions, others are suitable for both. I have also included the jar label in two colour options.
