Sensory Journals from Lifelines add an element of
thoughtful contemplation to journaling as you manipulate the covers almost like
a calming fidget toy. Push the enclosed water beads along the maze with your
finger. The shades of turquoise beads against the dark blue journal give a
peaceful maritime vibe, then open the cover to see through the maze! Prop it up
and watch the beads fall to the bottom. But wait, this is a journal!
The soothing ivory pages are lined front & back and they
have rather special embossed designs in the margins. No color, just birds,
leaves, tree bark, pebbles and other nature-inspired patterns to run your hand
over. An elastic closure and pen loop make for a tidy journal on the go. Try it
with a Pen Diffuser
for an overall subtle sensory experience.
Journaling is a way to teach children to be self-aware and
work out their feelings. Check out the other sensory
journals in the collection. Add a set of Scented Lava Pens for a
great gift combo! ~Sara
