Outdoor Hour Challenge:
This week we are going to get started with a spring wildflower or dandelion nature study challenge! This is always a favorite study and I look forward to seeing how your family completes some of the ideas in the following challenges. As always, if you don’t have any wildflowers or dandelions, take a walk anyway and see what you can find or talk about the up-coming wildflower season to create some enthusiasm. See the ideas below for a dandelion hunt.
- Spring Wildflowers – Dandelions
- You may wish to complete a spring Wildflower Photo Hunt using the ideas in the printable below.

Special Activity: Dandelion Hunt
This month’s newsletter includes a page of Nature Journal Toppers. One of the suggested activities outlines some ideas for observing a dandelion that you may find during your outdoor time and then creating a nature journal page with all your measurements and comparisons.

I just pinned this to my Children’s Garden/Homesteading board and would love it if you joined that group board to pin regularly! Its brand new but several members of homesteading networks I’m involved in will be pinning there and I’m excited to fill it with quality content. Feel free to check it out and let me know if you’re interested http://www.pinterest.com/homesteadlady/childrens-gardenshomesteading/. You’ll need to follow the board so I can send you an invite, if you decide you’d like to participate.
I am interested in following your board.
