What I first had the idea for a printable bird journal, we were doing a lot of backyard bird watching as a family. I thought it would be fun to keep track of what we saw and when. We were using regular school notebook paper, but I knew I could come up with something that was much more fun!
This printable bird journal has six pages of lines for journaling about anything. You can write about the birds you see in your backyard, but you can also use it for a bullet journal or diary or whatever you want to write about.
Each page has plenty of space for writing and is embellished with beautiful watercolor birds, feathers, and natural elements that will appeal to adults and kids of all ages.
You can print the pages full-sized on 8.5×11-inch paper and pick which pages to print. It also fits nicely printed two pages per page and that’s exactly what I did to make my journal below.
How to make a bird journal
Supplies
- digital download (sign up below)
- 8.5×11-inch printer paper
- home printer and ink
- craft glue
Instructions
1. Print the pages.
Start by printing all of the pages. The settings on your printer will vary. I set mine to print “2 pages per page” and “landscape” so that they are side by side. Test different settings and check the print preview so you can see how the pages will lay out if you’re unsure.
2. Fold and assemble the pages.
Fold the page with the cover facing out. Then fold all the other journal pages with the birds and lines facing in.
Line up the journal pages inside the cover nice and square.
2. Glue the journal.
One page at a time, glue the blank sides of the pages together and smooth them flat. Let the glue dry completely, then the bird journal is ready to use.
There’s space on the cover to write a title, author, date, or whatever you like. Inside, each page is different, so you can make lists or write stories.
This printable is so cute and fun! I put mine by the backdoor, along with the binoculars, so everyone in my family can write down what they see. Our backyard is often filled with bluejays, cardinals, robins, and chickadees. Every now and then, we see something really special, like a hawk or once… a peacock!
