Why Nature Journal?
Charlotte Mason recommended allowing children absolute freedom to run, shout and express themselves with energy while outdoors. Yet she also believed children should be trained to "see." To have their eyes opened to the natural beauty around them, “igniting in them the curiosity to look, notice and observe.”
Charlotte Mason encouraged her students to keep a nature notebook as soon as they were able. Spending ample time in nature each day, the children would create their own living book of life outdoors.
Nature journaling utilizes art, science, and language arts to increase a child’s enjoyment of nature and train his powers of observation. The sky’s the limit for what they can include in their nature journal. I have lots of ideas on my blog post How to Make Nature Study Awesome.
