How it works
Perfect for
| Kit | Best for | Arrives as | Price as of Nov 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kids Feelings Journal | Kids learning to name and share feelings, with a grown-up alongside | Printed 60-day journal and printed parent guide, mailed | $34.95 |

Both journals are physical, shipped for $5.99, and neither is a download. Etsy showed delivery estimates of Nov 12 to 16 and Nov 12 to 17 on Nov 8, 2026, and shows returns accepted within 30 days on both at the time of writing. Both use Fern the Fawn’s woodland world and the same softly illustrated style, so they make a matching pair for siblings or gifts.
Fern the Fawn guides your child through 60 undated entries, two pages each, in a gentle woodland world. Kids can name more than one feeling at once, draw or write, and answer prompts about happiness, pride, effort, curiosity, trying something new and kindness. Dates are optional, prompts can be skipped and the 60 entries do not need to be consecutive.
Choose Little Hearts (ages 6 and under) with feeling faces to point to, circle or color, where a grown-up can scribe. Or choose Growing Hearts (7+), with an emotional compass, a wider set of feeling words and reflection prompts. Each edition comes with an age-matched printed parent guide. One parent wrote in a 5-star review: “I love this. It is so hard to get my 8 year old to share any feelings and somehow this helped crack that nut.” Read more in the kids feelings journal guide.
This is a journal for connection and emotional vocabulary. It is not therapy and does not replace professional care.
My Little Book of Big Adventures is a 5.5 x 8.5 inch softcover with ten undated adventure days of three pages each: Feel, Discover and Remember. It also has dream destinations, packing prompts, Fern’s little quests, space for photos and paper keepsakes, explorer badges and an award. Pick one of six covers and Little Explorer (6 and under) or Big Explorer (7+). Use it on one big trip or spread the ten days across many outings. Find ideas in kids travel journal ideas.
Neither journal is printed with your child’s name; each has a page for your child to fill in. Your choices at checkout are the edition, plus the cover style for the travel journal, at no price difference. Pencils, photographs and keepsakes are not included. If you are choosing a gift, pick the edition by your child’s confidence and preferred way to express themselves rather than age alone; the listings call the age ranges guides.

Little Hearts is for ages 6 and under, with feeling faces to point to, circle or color and room for a grown-up to scribe. Growing Hearts is for ages 7 and up, with an emotional compass, more feeling words and reflection prompts. Ages are guides, so choose by your child’s confidence. The price is the same.
No. It is a gentle, illustrated journal for connection and building a feelings vocabulary, with an age-matched parent guide for grown-ups. It is not therapy and does not replace professional care. If you have concerns about your child’s wellbeing, talk with a pediatrician or another qualified professional.
Both are physical printed journals, not downloads. They ship for $5.99. On Nov 8, 2026 Etsy estimated delivery at Nov 12 to 16 for the Feelings Journal and Nov 12 to 17 for the Travel Journal; check your date at checkout. Returns were accepted within 30 days.
Not by the shop. You choose the edition, and for the Travel Journal a cover style, but there is no name box. Each journal includes a page where your child writes their own name, age and a portrait, so it still becomes theirs.
Add pencils or colored pencils, plus your own photographs and small keepsakes; none are included. The Travel Journal has ten undated adventure days with three pages each: Feel, Discover and Remember. Use them on one trip or across several outings, and skip any prompt your child does not enjoy.
