Make your own garden journal to keep year 'round!

You can write about a grown-up's garden, or maybe adopt a plant that's all your own. Write down all your important information:

There's so much you can say in your very own journal! You can even draw pictures of your plant, or take pictures with a camera and glue them on the pages.

What you need:

25 to 50 pieces of paper cut to 5.5" x 8.5"
(any kind of paper will do, even Big Y grocery bags cut down to size)
hole puncher
ribbon cut to 7"
markers, paints, crayons
imagination

Step 1:
Punch a hole in the upper left hand corner of each page, but not too close to the edge of the paper. Make sure each page aligns with the previous one. (You may want a grown-up to help with the punching and measuring.)

Step 2:
Stack up all your pages so the holes align. Thread the ribbon all the way through and tie a bow. (Be sure to tie a bow, just in case you need to add pages to your journal.)

Step 3:
Start writing, drawing, pasting and having fun!
