My daughter found this online. Maybe she saw it on TikTok? I’m not sure, but she asked me for it. I wasn’t going to say “No” to a journal! It really is a neat journal! There are instructions on every page. It’s funny because the instructions are to do things that you’re not normally supposed to do w books like ; put in freezer, compost , crumble , rip etc. It’s a fabulous tool for getting out feelings! It gives them permission to jack everything up! I think it’s great! I also think it’d be great for boys as well as girls! I’d definitely recommend this journal!!

Cute, clever book - perfect for anyone who is artistic, crafty, or sassy.

I've actually purchased two copies of this book. One in black & white for myself and one in color to gift to my best friend. (I'd recommend the color version, but either is great!) Such a cute, clever and unique idea for a book, as the pages prompt you to destroy or add to the book in one way or another. Example: spill liquids on this page, glue random objects that you find outside, or tear this page out and make a paper airplane, etc. Lots of fun and creative ideas to kill time, get artsy, get creativity flowing, or simply get destructive. And the first pages of the book encourage the reader to think outside the box, to not follow the rules, simply do what you want with the book without the guilt of destroying it. :)

Great journal Out if the box and interesting

I bought this because I wanted to Jumpstart into my work again. Not only is it interesting but I like the out of the box idea of what a journal should be. I also feel that it has a sense of wit and humor as well.

Great for my pre-teen

Before I say anything, this is NOT for someone who likes to keep books new and clean, because I promise you, you will get messy. My parents didn't quite like the idea of ruining something like a book, but you have to get past the point of trying to keep it neat. Anyway, this has been so fun to do. I have had to restrain myself from doing all of the pages. Some are definitely gross, like chewing or licking the pages, or others have to do with coloring or painting entire pages. Also, dealing with a lot of anxiety, this has been a really good way to let some feelings out, especially with the pages that involve writing things down about your feelings. Now, this is only if you need it, but here are all of the prompts. I know it's long, but it just gives you an idea of what you're getting yourself into :) (add your own page numbers) (crack the spine) (color this page RED on purpose) (pour, spill, drip, spit, fling different colored drinks here) (poke holes in this page using a pencil) (draw lines fat and thin) (this page is for handprints or fingerprints) (color this entire page) (throw something at this page) (press leaves and other found things) (do some rubbings with a pencil) (scribble wildly) (tear strips of color) (glue or tape these page together) (fill this page with circles of any color) (document your dinner) (chew on this) (mix colors until they turn to mud) (tear out this page and crumple it) (fold this into an airplane) (wrap a gift with this page) (eat colorful candy and then lick this page) (write your thoughts here) (tie a string to the spine and swing it around) (pick this journal up without your hands) (climb up high and drop the journal) (compost this page) (do a really bad drawing) (put sticky things here) (make a paper chain) (cover this page with only office supplies) (rub this page in the dirt) (use this page as a test page for your colors) (drip something here) (sew through this page) (glue a piece of newspaper here) (cut up tiny bits and glue them here) (trace things in your pockets here) (collect colors you like here) (scribble only using pens you borrow) (page for good thoughts) (make prints of anything) (ask a friend to do something with this page; don't peek) (let the colors run) (glue random things here) (tear this page out; take it with you everywhere) (infuse this page with a scent) (color outside these lines) (close your eyes and connect the dots from memory) (collect your pocket lint) (roll a die to find out what color this page will be) (make drips of something) (document items in your home here) (draw with scissors) (find a way to freeze this page) (draw with crayon and paint over) (draw lines using abnormal items) (punch this page with paint on your fist) (create a color explosion) (find a way to wear the journal) (create a nonstop line) (space for negative comments) (a page for 4 letter words) (write on this page with a pen in your mouth) (cut strips and weave. put back in here) (document time passing) (work with only colors you hate) (hide a secret message in the book) (try sleeping with the book and tell us how it was) (close the journal and write something on the sides) (stain log) (attatch these pages together somehow) (splatter) (collect dead bugs here; just do it) (float this page) (hide this page in your neighbors yard) (roll the journal down a large hill) (turn the book into a shoe) (slide the journal down a hallway) (smush something colorful on the page) (cover this page in tape) (fold this page how you want) (add a new color to this page every day for a month) (cut slits all over the page) (fill in these shapes with color)

Fun idea!

We purchased this journal for our daughter, and she has loved using it. Each page of this journal gives you something to do, whether it's coloring the entire page Red or ripping the papers out. I think it shows how creative a journal can be by simply doing things a little differently.
