How awesome would it be for children to have some fun away from television, electronic games and tablets, and to learn to appreciate moments of calm in contact with nature?
With this "draw and write journal" we invite you to spend family time in contact with nature, even if you live in a city. You do not need lots of materials, or to go to a forest to offer your child a positive experience with nature. You just need pen or pencil and a few minutes playing in the grass, hunting insects, watching the growth of plants or the routine of animals.. very simple things can provide your children with a super positive experience.
The Nature Observation Journal along with an adult's guidance can:
- make your child value and appreciate the land, air, sun and water,
- help children learn about the life cycle,
- develop a sense of responsibility, patience and reflection,
- and help our emotional balance, since the human being has in essence the need for contact with nature, which is often limited by our lifestyle.
We live in a world that can no longer ignore the importance of taking care of the environment, and when we learn to appreciate nature from a young age, we can develop a beautiful relationship with the world around us.
With this journal you will record your child's nature observations (which could be as short as 1-2 lines) and will encourage him/her to draw what he/she saw, or represent how he/she felt while in contact with nature. Your written entries and the child drawings can be quite simple, and yet children will learn through them and further develop their fine motor skills.
So, how about finding some time to go out with your kids connect with nature, and de-stress a little? Your passport for "calm activities" and wonderful memories exploring the nature is right here!
