Note from Jeni: This website exists to tell kids’ own stories about life under lockdown, but from time to time I’ll share other cool things that kids might like. Here’s one of those!

If you’re feeling that kind of BORING boring, here’s something you can try: My Lockdown Diary. 

Created by Stephen McCarthy, a New Zealand artist, the diary has 28 pages that you can download / print / fill out to help keep a hard copy record of your time at home. This is what some of them look like:

You can download it for free at mylockdowndiary.com. Have fun and stay safe!
