A is for April Writing Prompts for Kids

I know my girls aren’t quite to the point of writing for themselves just yet, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have a story to tell.

Here is a list of writing or journal prompts for every day of the month of April. Kids of all ages can use them. Even if they don’t know how to write yet, just have them dictate their story to you and you can write it for them. They can always have fun being the illustrator!
