DIY Wooden Journals - Sports (10 Pack)

DIY Wooden Journals – Sports are a fun, sporty keepsake craft where kids decorate real wooden journal covers, add themed wooden pieces, and assemble their own notebook they can use for stories, notes, drawings, and “game day memories.”

A Sports-Themed Journal Craft Kids Will Actually Use

This craft is a win because it’s both creative and practical. Kids don’t just decorate something cute — they build a real journal they can write in. The wooden covers give it a sturdy, premium feel, and the sports die-cut pieces make it instantly exciting for athletes, sports fans, and boys who love anything team-themed.

It’s perfect for programs because it works for a wide age range. Younger kids love painting and decorating the wood, while older kids actually enjoy using the journal afterward to track goals, write down plays, journal about games, or keep a sports-themed “memory book.” It’s also a strong option for team gift-making, end-of-season activities, and school spirit events.

Because every journal is personalized, kids stay engaged longer than they do with simple crafts. They take their time choosing colors, adding details, and building something that feels like it belongs to them. It’s a craft that’s not just fun in the moment — it becomes something they keep.
