Family Nature Journaling: Exploring the World Together
Advertisement
Create a habit together!
Join Leslie Mathews in this fun and easy practice and get the whole family outside, from little ones to teens and everyone in between. Learn how to start a family nature journal book that you can add to all the time. Observe seasonal changes together and begin a new tradition. When you stop to really look, even the most everyday nature objects and occurrences can become extraordinary wonders you can talk about, write, and draw together.
Bonus fall fun: We will be making leaf rubbings and leaf prints using washable watercolors and tempera paints as part of this workshop.
All supplies included for making a family nature journal and leaf rubbings and prints.
