So much to explore out-of-doors . . . From big things like mountains and thunderstorms to little things like seashells and caterpillars, there is so much to explore in nature! Here's a book that invites children to go outside and really pay attention to what they see — by writing about and making drawings of their discoveries. There's also space for kids to wonder and ask questions about what they see. Each set of pages is designed for children to easily— note when and where they make observations - write a description - make a sketch, or add a photo or painting - think about how their discovery might apply to their life - wonder about what they've experienced This book can be used as a stand-alone field journal or as a companion to Big Life Lessons from Nature's Little Secrets, also by Pamela Baxter. Used with Big Life Lessons, Explore Outdoors encourages children and families to think about how little, often ordinary things in the natural world can provide big life lessons. For children age eight through twelve. Also great for families with younger children to use together.
