Nature Journaling Curriculum
You can download my new book How to Teach Nature Journaling and the second edition of my nature journaling curriculum, Opening the World Through Nature Journaling for free from my store. The curriculum includes more great child-tested sketching activities, poetry writing, and more detailed tips on teaching drawing in nature. These are great resources for teachers, outdoor leaders, and home school parents. The journaling lesson plans from the BEETLES team of the Lawrence Hall of Science are also available as a free download.
