Give each child a journal from the dollar store. Keep the journals in a basket and set aside time each day to encourage the children to write and draw in their journals. Provide the children with a prompt for the day to help them get started such as drawing a circle on the page. Encourage the children to do anything they like with the circle. One child may put stickers on it, another might draw a face inside the circle and another might try to write the word circle. Anything goes!
