Free Nature Field Guides online guides, printables, & ebooks

Field guides are essential to a good nature study. I’ve discovered that strewing them about leads to curiosity, which leads to learning. I tuck the books that are not currently being used into a big basket by our nature table.

Guides do not have to break the bank. I picked most of ours up at thrift stores, garage sales, and library book sales. You can also check them out at the library or read them online. (Don’t miss the list of ebooks at the end that you can check out from the Open Library.) [Read more…]

I do not have a formal plan for nature study. I play it by ear according to the season, the weather, and what kind of week we’ve had. We pick a topic, choose some printables to go with it, grab our nature bag, and head out the door.  [Read more…]

Creating a Nature Journal - book suggestions, sketching & watercolor lessons, and journal inspiration

I’ve done some searching for helpful info on types of nature journals, sketching lessons, and watercolor techniques. There are also links to books on nature journaling, and some nice examples. I’m always inspired by seeing someone else’s idea.  [Read more…]
