Nature Journaling with Kids ebook.
Nature Journaling with Kids was written to give you some practical ideas about nature journaling and nature study in an Australian environment. Use this to get some more ideas when using The Wonderland of Nature Journal
Our aim with this ebook is to present a gentle guide to nature journaling to encourage and help you start journaling with your children.
You may read many different terms such as; nature diary, nature calendar, nature study, nature notebook and logbook. All of the terms have the same common theme, though they may have specific definitions.
We want to encourage children to observe and record what they see for the pure pleasure of it and to enjoy their environment and try to capture the memory - how they feel; of what they are reminded; or an expression of poetry may come with time.
What they need is practise and inspiration.
