Definitely going to try this! Do you have any recommendations for how to get little siblings involved that are less than 1yo? Would you have them scribble every once in a while or write something on their behalf?

Great question! If they are interested in scribbling a little I think that’s the best way or you could write a cute fake entry for them. Otherwise, you could read the entries together so they are aware of it and when the time comes ready to participate.
