{Spice Up Your Homeschool} Nature Journals

Add some pizzazz to your science with nature study journals. Grab some paper and colored pencils. Then head outside to see what you can find. You might be surprised what your child finds interesting enough to draw. Talk about what you hear and then what you see or smell.

Wanna be a little more adventurous? Then go on a nature scavenger hunt and check out Bits & Pieces links to a variety of Scavenger Hunt ideas.

Wanna be more creative? Create your own nature journals. Lots of tutorials for nature journals on pinterest. Use recycled materials and you are going green!
