Nature Journals

Rather a formal lesson or an impromptu nature walk, children love being out in nature. Nature journals are perfect to encourage children to record and sketch what they observe. There are many crafts and projects that can be done out in nature. Share your projects and sketches with us.

It's possible to get out into nature and expose your children to the sights, sounds and smells of nature even in the big city. After a short drive, we arrive at the Oak Canyon Nature Center. Join us on our impromptu field trip to Oak Canyon Nature Center.

Discovering Nature - Nature Journal Tips from the Homeschooling Forum. I don't know where to start with creating a journal. I've never personally kept a journal but I think it would be fun for my children to look back on what we've seen and learned on our walks together.

My Nature Journal becomes a personal creation where children record their thoughts, feelings and discoveries. Children will treasure their journals for years to come. My Nature Journal is a must have for homeschoolers who want to explore nature.

Print out the pages, assemble and bind with ribbon.

Wherever you are, you can get out and have fun learning about the great outdoors by recording what you can you see, hear, smell and touch! To make your own Nature Journal, just download and print each of the four pages.
