Great activiites to do with kids young people January 1, 2009
This is really a great book to use with children. My Nature Journal has many topics and activities in different habitats. The habitats include woodlands, meadows, ponds and streams, seashore, and twilight.
The activities are simple enough that they can be quickly discussed and will work with short attention spans. There are blank pages with titles to spur on ideas and tie in with activities.
If this journal is followed, the child and the parent will have a wonderful record. As a children's librarian, I can see myself using the ideas, activities and pages as a jumping off points for after school activities.
It can be used as a guide to use with young children (4-8) and kids (9-12) can follow it themselves.
Great! August 25, 2008
This journal has prompts that help children know what to look for in the outdoors.
Beautiful journal May 18, 2008
This is a fantastic journal for children. It offers great ideas for journaling and has nice pictures and is arranged in a delightful way. I am pleased with this purchase for our homeschooling family. It is a perfect addition for the Charolette Mason nature walks.
 Great starter journal for kids! May 15, 2008
What a great intro to nature journaling! I bought this book for my daughter and she absolutely loves it. I intended to have my older son use a plain sketch diary for his nature journal, but after looking through this one with dd-I'll just have to get one of these for him, too. There are so many great ideas to sharpen our "city eyes". The Scavenger Hunt pages were a big hit and will help my children become more observant, I'm sure. The perfect amount of handholding for a first journal!

We've only had this journal for a couple of weeks but it is already an essential part of our day. My 7-year old daughter truly cherishes this journal and loves to share it with others. She even sleeps with it tucked under her arm. When a question comes up about ocean life, spiders, moths or wildflowers, she shouts, "I know! I'll look in my journal." If the answer is not found there, you can be sure she will add it once she finds it in a field guide, encyclopedia or from one of her nature buddies at the Dept. of Natural Resources. I was afraid that this journal would be stiffling but it is perfect for my youngest daughter. Her older siblings use blank journals for their entries, as do I, but this is just perfect for the younger set and it is lovely to flip through.
