Nature Study Tips and Tricks
October 30, 2015
I find that one of the hardest parts of Charlotte Mason’s philosophy of education for modern parents to adapt is Nature Study. In this video, I give you some tips and resources to take the fear out of studying nature with your children. I share some of my favorite resources, and I take my youngest on a nature walk and show your how we do Nature Study at our house.
I hope you enjoy the video! My kids finally wore me down and we started a family YouTube channel. I plan on doing some more videos about how we make use of Charlotte Mason’s philosophy of education, as well as book reviews, fun field trips and more. So if you like what you see, we’d love for you to subscribe to the channel!
Here are the books I recommended in the video:
- The Nature Connection
- National Audubon First Field Guides
- Sibley Field Guide to Birds
- One Small Square: Backyard
- A Seed is Sleepy
- Nature Anatomy
