Yesterday as I was blog hopping about looking for fun things to do with my girls for homeschooling I discovered this great book for doing nature studies with young ones.  The book is called Discover Nature in Winter by Pat Archer. 

This author actually has several nature discovery books but since we’re in winter now, and doing nature studies is 2 feet of snow isn’t always easy, this one in particular seemed to be the most practical.

Her books are very detailed and give ideas for fun, practical lesson plans and ideas to explore for the whole family – from little ones to us old folks!  For those of you who don’t homeschool, this is a great supplement to their schooling and a wonderful way to pull away from the TV or computer and interact as a family together!
