-
Winter can seem like a quiet season for nature study. The flowers are gone, the trees are bare, and much of the natural world appears to have disappeared. But look a little closer.
-
 Winter reveals things we might overlook in other seasons: the intricate buds of bare trees, the fascinating patterns of frost and ice, and the hidden lives of insects sheltering beneath the snow and fallen leaves.
-
 You don't have to be a naturalist or know all the answers to help your children discover these things.
-
You simply need to know where to look and how to encourage them to look closer.

NICE TO MEET YOU

I've spent many years doing nature study with my children in co-ops and at home. My greatest frustration was that my children didn't have the tools to create nature journals they could be proud of. In addition, once we started to learn the names of things, I wanted them to have more opportunities to grow in how they see creation - not just to learn the names, but to learn more about God Himself and how he reveals himself through creation. This workshop is what I wish I would have had to help us grow as naturalists and artists. I know you are going to love it!
