Do you want to cultivate a love for observing wildlife and nature preservation?
Do you ever find yourself wondering if it was raining this time last year? Or when those wild flowers down the road bloomed last year? Nature walks and nature journaling with your children is a wonderful way to cultivate a love for wildlife and nature preservation. In this video we will show you how to nature journal and provide excellent res courses to get you started on your nature journaling journey.
I recommend staying local and really learning your local plant and animal life and magically you’ll start seeing patterns and circles popping up all over.
Before I started using nature journaling with my girls and learning about Charlotte Mason to enhance our Homeschool Curriculum , I loved to hike and I love to do art. I never thought about combining the two and now that I have, I notice all kinds of details, that I over looked before. I never noticed amazing details about plant cycles, animals, and wildlife and now the world comes to life as never before.
