The hedgerows are thick with green, the bees are busy, the grasses are high, and suddenly summer feels properly here. For many home-educating families, it is also the point in the year when rhythms begin to loosen a little. Lessons may be winding down, the weather is calling everyone outside, and you may find yourself wanting a simple way to keep nature study going without adding more planning to your plate.
Exploring Nature With Children gives you a doable, year-round structure for nature study, with weekly themes that guide you through the seasons. It is not about producing perfect nature journals or turning every walk into a lesson, instead, it is about forming the habit of attention: helping children notice what is growing, changing, blooming, buzzing, nesting, ripening, and fading in the world around them.
June is a beautiful month to begin, return, or to simply forge ahead, noticing wildflowers, watching honeybees about their work, listening to the birds, comparing leaves, sketching, and following the signs of summer in your own small corner of the world.
Nature study does not need to be complicated. A short walk, one thing noticed, a quick sketch, a few words in a journal, these small acts, repeated over time, become rich habits for a lifetime.
To help you prepare for your summer nature study, I’m offering 10% off Exploring Nature With Children throughout June.
