We recently started a nature study co-op with a good friend and her children. Today we went to a beautiful gardens area where the kids observed and drew what they saw!

Observing nature, we caught a baby frog
We also bring along our field guide book and look up the insects, plants, etc. we see during our observing!
Letting a child explore God’s beautiful creations is such a blessing!
Those nature pages are pages that you will treasure for years to come. I love the one with the caterpillars on it.
Blessings,

I love his nature drawing. At some point I’ll get my boys to do that.
Looks like a nice outing. Lilacs are my favorite! They’re such a sign of spring. I love their fragrance.
Wow, what a great learning experience and I’m impressed by the pics. The are a great representation of what he saw!
(I’m giving you an award on my blog :-))
ids love drawing pictures of what they learn and I love seeing how they see it.
What a great idea! I love your son’s nature drawings!
Looks fun! I’m starting to miss the “exploring days” with little ones.
