Nature Journals
Nature Journals can be simple or elaborate. An art sketch book is great to start a nature journal in. The child can draw what he/she sees, identify it, give some information about the discovery and date it. Another way to do a nature journal is in notebooking style in a 3-ring binder with notebooking pages.
