Outdoor Hour Challenge – Signs of Spring 2019

Signs+of+Spring+Nature+Study+@handbookofnaturestudy.blogspot.com.jpg

“A simple spring nature study starts as soon as you start to notice the changes around you.”

In my part of the world, we’re not even close to seeing any signs of spring. But, last week I was in California and I greatly enjoyed the landscape turning green, the early spring bulbs starting to blossom, and the warm sunshine as I walked to the river.

You can complete this challenge at any time you note the first signs of spring in your neighborhood. It’s actually quite a life lesson for children to be aware of the changing of the seasons and what to look for when you’re taking your Outdoor Hour time.

 

Signs+of+Spring+Notebook+Page.jpg

Use the suggestions in the challenge linked below along with the free printables available to create a record of your family’s signs of spring.
