Nature Journals

We were inspired today by a Homemade Simple blog post and a cool children's book about Jane Goodall ("Me...Jane" by Patrick McDonnell). We took a few bucks to the dollar store yesterday for notebooks, pens, tape, butterfly nets, and a cheapo pair of binoculars.



We put everything into a bag with a picnic lunch, water bottles, sunscreen, and our trusty bird field guide and we were good to go!


It was a little toasty but we stayed in the shade. The girls had a blast collecting samples, drawing pictures, and observing all the cool stuff - from the big to the small. They collected everything into their notebooks, which they can build upon in the future! It was a blast!!
