“Mommy, what does this say?”

One simple question… and suddenly, you realize just how much your little one is ready to learn.

But where do you start? And how do you fit it into your already busy days?

You want to help them learn, to spark that love for reading and writing—but instead, you feel stuck.

What should we do? Where do we even start? And how do I make it work when life already feels so busy?

If you’ve ever felt the same, you’re not alone. You have found a fun and simple way to build your child’s early literacy skills without the pressure, the guesswork, or the overwhelm.

Inside, you’ll find simple, age-appropriate journal ideas designed to make early learning feel natural and stress-free.

No more wondering if you’re “doing enough.” No more scrambling to piece together activities. Just small, meaningful moments that fit into your day—helping your child grow, one page at a time.

You don’t have to have all the answers. You just need a little support, and that’s what I’m here for.

What you don’t have to do anymore…

🚫 Spend hours scrolling social media, trying to piece together ideas that might help your child develop early literacy skills.

🚫 Be a Pinterest-perfect, artsy mom who can create elaborate journal pages from scratch. (Seriously, who has time for that?)

🚫 Carve out extra hours in your already-packed day just to make learning happen.

Here’s what you can do instead…

✅ Have a ready-to-go bank of simple, fun, and effective journal ideas—no more guesswork or stress.

✅ Follow easy, no-fuss designs that any mom can recreate (no artistic skills required!).

✅ Create a quiet moment in your day—just you and your child. Watch their little hands scribble, their face light up with each new idea. No pressure, no overwhelm—just simple, meaningful learning, one page at a time.

  • No Fancy Supplies Needed

    I believe in making literacy fun and accessible. That's why these activities require only a blank sketchbook, markers, glue, stickers, construction paper, and paint (for extra creativity).

  • Toddler Activities

    Start early! These toddler activities are designed for little learners as young as 1.5 years old, building essential skills from the very beginning. These activities focus on following instructions, fine motor skills, colours and more.

  • Preschool Activities

    Prepare your preschooler for kindergarten! These activities focus on letter recognition, name practice and fine motor skills, setting them up for literacy success.

  • Guide Included

    Each activity comes with short and sweet instructions—because I know you're busy and don’t have time to read a long blurb! You’ll get clear steps, a simple materials list, key objectives, and helpful tips.

Hey, I’m Lindsay

I’m so glad you’re here!

Teaching little minds to read and write isn’t just my job—it’s my passion. But let’s be honest, helping kids master literacy skills can sometimes feel like climbing Mount Everest, right? That’s exactly why I created Your Little Scribbles.

As a teacher, I’ve seen the magic that happens when a child’s eyes light up with a new word or a story they’ve created. I’ve also met so many parents—just like you—who want to support their child’s literacy journey but aren’t sure where to start.

That’s where Your Little Scribbles comes in. Because as amazing as our classroom teachers are, sometimes little learners need an extra boost—and no one is better equipped to give them that than YOU. You are their biggest cheerleader, their first teacher, and the one who will help turn their early scribbles into confident sentences.

I’m here to make it simple, fun, and stress-free. Let’s build your child’s love for reading and writing—together!
