A quick stop at the clearance bins at Joann Fabrics turned up 2 hard back journals with a pretty sunflower print on the cover for 98 cents each. What a great find for some nature journals. We started nature journals last year and I'd love to do it again.
As soon as our current below zero temps pass I hope to get the kids out at least once a week for inspiration for their nature journals. Once spring hits we can go on walks with our journals and a pack of colored pencils. We can search for some fascinating things to draw and write about in our own backyard or on a trip.
Here is a link to another blog with great info to help get started with a nature journal for kids.

I think I should get a nature journal for me too. What better way to spark interest of journaling in your kids than to let me see you doing it too. To bad Joann Fabrics only had 2 of those cute sunflower journals left. I'll be hitting the dollar store soon for a basic small notebook for myself.
