Nature Study Notebooking Journal

This post may contain affiliate links.

Do you love to do nature study with your kids?  I really love it and so do my kids. It’s great to have different options to change it up each year and get them interested again.  Today I have a beautiful Nature Study Notebooking journal for you.

Why We Love Nature Study

My kids love nature study.   We are pretty casual about it, but always try to squeeze it in each week.  Nature is an incredible place to learn science and learn about the world we live in. When kids spend time outdoors they are seeing so many wonders unfold before them. There are a million different things to study.  It is incredibly beneficial for us to take moments to be still and just observe. Use your various senses to explore nature~ look, smell, touch, listen, sometimes even tasting! It is so healthy for us to be in the outdoors breathing in fresh air, letting our feet touch the grass, and getting sunshine.

Keeping a nature journal is so good for kids, too!  They can record what they see, hear, smell, and feel as they experience nature.

Nature Journal

We have kept nature journals in sketch books on and off for years now. My kids love to look back through their old drawings and see what they have done and how they have matured over the years. I also love using guided journals such as these printables.  It helps kids to think a little differently than normal and gives them ideas for what to draw or observe.

Each page has pretty nature-themed graphics  and borders making it so appealing to young kids.
