  • Came in good condition. Prompts seem fun.
Format: Paperback
The book came in good condition, no writing, scuffs, or pages done in it. I was a little worried seeing other reviews that said their came with pages done but mine looks brand new. I gave this as a gift so I can't speak on whether or not it's fun or therapeutic to do, but the prompts seemed interesting and fun for the most part (some of them were a little gross like paint a page with food stains, smear with dirt, or something like that where I'd personally skip it to keep the book more hygienic or do those prompts last). However, the majority of the prompts seemed creative and artistically destructive (like making a collage out of torn up paper, dotting with ink stains, or poking holes in the pages). I think if you have an artistic streak or just want an excuse to rip up some paper and mess up a "book", this would be a fun activity. Also seems like it'll last for a while, even if you did a prompt each day it would last at least a couple months. Prompts are appropriate for pretty much any age, as long as someone is old enough to be trusted with scissors and paints/colors they could do this book. ... show more

  • Fun, Creative, and Highly Entertaining Journal
Format: Paperback
It is a fun and entertaining book. I really enjoyed reading it and completing each creative task. It encourages imagination and playful thinking, making it a unique experience compared to regular journals. Each activity is engaging and sometimes silly in a good way. Overall, I highly recommend it for anyone who likes creative and interactive books. ... show more

  • great for white elephant gift exchange
Format: Paperback
You don't need to be super artistic or creative to use this- it's super fun too!! Just be aware that certain pages (like the one where you document your meal) may cause your book to mold if you smear food on it. Great for getting outside and doing something not on a screen!

  • Huge hit with bonus daughter!
Format: Paperback
My bonus daughter has been going through a bit of a rough patch lately. She loves to draw/sketch, colors, create, and be creative. She doesn’t follow the crowd, she paves her own way. Being only 10 I feel like she is very self aware that she is different than most other kids. Which I think is amazing and a great thing! She was born to stand out rather than be a carbon copy cookie cutter version of someone else. When I came across this journal I was actually looking for something for my son. I thought he would find this interesting however he’s not very hands on and will actually sit still and do this. He would rather create a new type of aircraft and test it at the speed of sound to make changes as far as durability than be creative in THIS way. Bonus daughter’s face lit up when she saw this book. I asked her if she would like to try it and she said “yes”! She was excited and I was excited to see her excited to try something new after the week she had. I can admit it was challenging for me to let go of “control” when she asked for paint to dip her hands on the make handprints on a specific page. However I remembered why I got it for her in the first place, dug out the acrylic paint, she picked yellow, and on top of brown craft paper at her fathers work desk she put her yellow hand prints all over the pages that asked for this. I would recommend this book to anyone. Adult or child. I feel like if you know someone well enough you will know if they will be engaged by this book or not. At first I thought my son and purchased it. I’m glad though that I have it to my bonus daughter because she’s enjoying it so much, and in such a time of need. She’s able to express herself in ways and be challenged on her self expression. This was easily worth the money and the smile on a child’s face. Buy this book. If it’s not for you: I can guarantee you will fine someone to give it to quickly. 10/10 recommended. ... show more

  • Messy Imaginative Fun
Format: Paperback
It’s a super fun and creative activity for pre‑teens. Wreck This Journal lets them be messy, silly, and imaginative, giving them tons of ways to express themselves without any rules. It keeps them entertained and excited to see what comes next.

  • A very fun journal! Love it!!!
Format: Paperback
So fun! Enjoy the prompts. And still can't wait to finish it! I made up a little jingle for it to the tune of "Jingle Bells 🔔 " "Wreck this journal, Wreck this journal, Wreck it all the way...Oh what fun it is to Wreck it all the way!"

  • Buy it!
Format: Paperback
I ordered this a few years ago and just now writing the review.. Wow!!! my child is STILL using this book! This is one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. She has had so much fun with all the prompts, and having something she can safely destroy as a sensory seeking child. But not only destroying it, she has an impressive fruit and vegetable sticker collection in it she’s been working on for these few years. She still gets excited to add to it. ... show more

Have to my 12 year old as a gift and she says it has been her favorite gift. She has taken it everywhere and shown everyone and absolutely loves it! She wants other ones like it for next gift. It is fun and definitely not boring.
