While it isn’t officially winter yet…it is time to grab your Five in a Row Winter Nature Study guide! Get it here Winter Nature Study

Children need our help to get outdoors, to learn about the wonderful world around them and to counter their screen time with outdoor play and fresh air! ⁠⠀

Be your child’s nature mentor! It isn’t the weather that’s keeping them inside. Children long to hike and play in the snow. Bundle up, head out, enjoy the wild in your own backyard, at the park, or in a forest. ⁠⠀

All the ideas you’ll need are there for you in the manual. Things to look for in the winter night sky, winter weather, poems, songs, animals in winter, and creative nature journaling prompts.

If you’re still reading…we have a sneak peek of our January Five in a Row Mini Unit for you!

Gift it to your kids for Christmas and then surprise them with lessons from the story in January! Who doesn’t need a burst of colors and a little excitement to usher in the new semester?
