Review

Praise for Wreck This Journal

Wreck This Journal encourages you to stop fretting about quality and start relishing the artistic process.” —Oprah.com
 
“I love this book and the playful way that Keri Smith teaches people the act of creating by putting you right on the spot. 
Wreck This Journal is a fun, interactive book that you will want to work in every day. To create is to destroy, and this book delivers.” —D*I*Y Planner

“No matter where you start or where you end, there's always something interesting to do. . . . The book is an exploration into creativity.” —
Buffalo News

“This new edition calls to mind the Technicolor of summer as it helps you let go of your inhibitions and helps you realize that your creativity doesn’t have to look like any one thing—you can destroy to create while also embracing chance and change . . . you can’t truly embrace new wisdom and creativity until you’re willing to sacrifice a bit of the old.” —Books for Better Living

“The ideal gift for artistic minded people, or not, for that matter, as what I love about this book is that there is no right or wrong. Neat, messy, colorful, dark, you can wreck however you want.” —
Hawwa, etc.

“I've kept journals before, but have never written in them as frequently as I write in my Wreck This Journal. It is great for inspiration; it gives you tasks that are thought-provoking rather than pages of endless blank lines. It is a great way to pass the time and a great gift for anyone, no matter how young or old.” —Teen Ink

“Wreck this Journal makes a great gift for someone who's going through a stressful time, needs a form of release, or anyone who could use a few minutes of fun.” —Jactionary

Wreck This Journal encourages you to experiment and have fun. . . . Flip to any page in the book and you will find a prompt: fun prompts, destructive prompts, creative prompts to help your creative juices flow.” —Craft Critique

“Calling all bookworms and creative doodlers, Wreck This Journal is the perfect book to spruce up your summer. . . . It’s a wonderful stress reliever and brings out the inner childish behavior we are so often told to get over. You won’t be disappointed.” —Kristine Marie Babauta, Marianas Variety

Came in good condition. Prompts seem fun.

C. · March 11, 2026

The book came in good condition, no writing, scuffs, or pages done in it. I was a little worried seeing other reviews that said their came with pages done but mine looks brand new. I gave this as a gift so I can't speak on whether or not it's fun or therapeutic to do, but the prompts seemed interesting and fun for the most part (some of them were a little gross like paint a page with food stains, smear with dirt, or something like that where I'd personally skip it to keep the book more hygienic or do those prompts last). However, the majority of the prompts seemed creative and artistically destructive (like making a collage out of torn up paper, dotting with ink stains, or poking holes in the pages).I think if you have an artistic streak or just want an excuse to rip up some paper and mess up a "book", this would be a fun activity. Also seems like it'll last for a while, even if you did a prompt each day it would last at least a couple months. Prompts are appropriate for pretty much any age, as long as someone is old enough to be trusted with scissors and paints/colors they could do this book.

Fun, Creative, and Highly Entertaining Journal

V.M.M. · April 8, 2026

It is a fun and entertaining book. I really enjoyed reading it and completing each creative task.It encourages imagination and playful thinking, making it a unique experience compared to regular journals. Each activity is engaging and sometimes silly in a good way.Overall, I highly recommend it for anyone who likes creative and interactive books.

A.C. · March 26, 2026

You don't need to be super artistic or creative to use this- it's super fun too!! Just be aware that certain pages (like the one where you document your meal) may cause your book to mold if you smear food on it. Great for getting outside and doing something not on a screen!

Buy it!

P.F. · February 27, 2026

I ordered this a few years ago and just now writing the review.. Wow!!! my child is STILL using this book! This is one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. She has had so much fun with all the prompts, and having something she can safely destroy as a sensory seeking child. But not only destroying it, she has an impressive fruit and vegetable sticker collection in it she’s been working on for these few years. She still gets excited to add to it.

Messy Imaginative Fun

B.M. · February 7, 2026

It’s a super fun and creative activity for pre‑teens. Wreck This Journal lets them be messy, silly, and imaginative, giving them tons of ways to express themselves without any rules. It keeps them entertained and excited to see what comes next.

A very fun journal! Love it!!!

d.d. · April 12, 2026

So fun! Enjoy the prompts. And still can't wait to finish it!I made up a little jingle for it to the tune of "Jingle Bells 🔔 ""Wreck this journal, Wreck this journal, Wreck it all the way...Oh what fun it is to Wreck it all the way!"

Get it, one of the best purchases

A.C. · April 8, 2026

Have to my 12 year old as a gift and she says it has been her favorite gift. She has taken it everywhere and shown everyone and absolutely loves it! She wants other ones like it for next gift. It is fun and definitely not boring.

Great gift for preteen!

S. · December 28, 2025

I bought this as a gift for my 9 year old daughter. She has not put it down since I've given it to her (she's even slept with it) She has been so engaged and just loves it. I love that is has pulled out her creative side and away from electronics. I would give this 10 stars if I could. I will be definitely be recommending this book to everyone with pre-teen/teenage children!

Excellent Art Prompt Book

C.M. · March 16, 2023

I ordered the "Wreck This Journal: Now In Colour Edition" in order to be able to give me a creative outlet as I love to draw and create.Firstly, I find this product to be excellent value for money; at £14.42 it's excellent value for money especially with how many prompts there are throughout the book.Secondly, I find it suitable for both children and adults alike. And what's better is you can do whatever you like with it and the prompts are there to give you an idea of what you can do. It really gives you full control of how you want to express your creativity whilst giving you a prompt to give you an idea of what to do. This is perfect for when you want to be creative but don't know where to start.Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase and I will definitely be getting a lot of use out of this book!

Arrived in poor condition. Book content is great though.

". · April 6, 2025

Book content is excellent. It’s a fantastic idea and unusual.However, I bought it as a gift and it arrived with a partially torn sticker on the front cover. One of those type that peel off in tiny little ripped pieces that leave a sticky residue. It’s no good to me for a gift, now I’ll need to go to a shop and try to buy a copy there.I know this book is designed to be wrecked by the owner but I’d like to give it to the recipient in pristine condition.
