Graph Paper Notebook on Amazon 

You can choose both the size and number of pages of these square-lined paper notebooks. Get one with a fun cover, or let them do the decorating. Go for a standard 8.5 by 11 paper, or get a smaller notebook for on-the-go musings. Graph paper notebooks make great records of trips, and get kids started on fun hobbies like scrapbooking since they can paste ticket stubs, maps, and much more directly into their notebook. Pair it with some fun writing or drawing utensils for a great gift, too.

Child's battle diagram
My son loves graph paper for his drawings.

My oldest son hates writing, so any way we can get him extra practice is well worth it. And he loves graph paper. Whether he colors in the different squares to make fun patterns or draws battle diagrams for his favorite games or Army Men, he can spend ages filling the pages from cover to cover. Once the notebook fills up, we have a collection of his work to store and browse at our leisure, as well as share with visiting family and friends.
