Life Cycles Books for Kids #NatureBookClub #Booklist

By Leave a Comment

At our house I am trying to instill a love for all things nature and I have found that one way to do that is to study life cycles of plants, birds, insects and animals. With cold Winter weather and some tiny snow flurries holding on there’s not too much nature to observe right now outside so we will need to rely on some good life cycles books for kids to help us learn! This month’s theme for Nature Book Club is life cycles. I hope you join us this month a we learn all about different life cycles through books, play and hands-on activities.

Free Nature Study Resources

By Leave a Comment

I love free resources and digital resources are even better! I have been collecting free homeschool resources for awhile and love using free nature study resources. I think that many parents overlook the incredible value that nature study has to offer. If you take your children out in nature not only are they learning about nature but science, art, community, preservation, and their place in the world! That’s a lot of concepts that you cannot learn from a book!

Camera Lens Flower STEM Project

By 1 Comment

Sometimes the only way to get my kids outdoors during the day when all the school kids are in public school is with a little tech! I love nature the most in our house but love to share new gadgets with my children to encourage them to go outdoors.

Camera Lens Flower STEM project

We recently had a chance to review a camera lens kit for cell phones from Amazon. We have had our eye on a product like this for a few years but wanted to wait till we upgraded our phones which we did. Adding a camera lens to your cell phone allows for extra fun and function!

Free Resources for Frog Life Cycle

By Leave a Comment

I love Spring and Summer time and being able to get out to enjoy nature a little bit more. One thing that I also enjoy is sharing free resources to help families extend their learning. Today is all about the FROG! I have gathered up over 70 free resources to use when learning about the frog life cycle.

Free Resources Frog Life Cycle Unit Study

I start off with free frog life cycle printables, then add activities, then added crafts, book lists, and younger learner activities like busy bags, tot trays, and sensory bins. I hope your family enjoys some of these frog life cycle activities either indoors or out!
