Stop the presses! Is this the cutest thing or what? We’re not studying the pioneering days this year in our homeschool, but I sure am tempted to find a way to wriggle one of these journals in!

Perfect for getting your kids glued to the subject material, this DIY Pioneer Journal incorporates crafts, creative writing, and history study. There are lots of pictures and step-by-step instructions so you won’t be left wondering how to get from Point A to Point B. There are even instructions on how to make an aged pioneer-style portrait!

This is certainly one project that your child will enjoy and remember for years to come!
