Nature Explorers: Forest – the interactive nature journal for children

Nature Explorers: Forest is the perfect way to add reading, writing, drawing and science to your forest adventures.

This interactive nature journal will get your children reading, writing, drawing and learning as they create a unique science book about their own forest.

The Nature Explorers: Forest learning journal is the ideal bridge between a classroom curriculum and the great outdoors. Your children will love learning the amazing animal facts, drawing, and playing with the animal cut-out models, while you will know the important early academics of reading fluency, comprehension, expanding vocabulary and writing skills are being developed alongside science, geography and art knowledge.

Nature Explorers: Forest is suitable for parents, teachers, and forest school leaders with children aged 5 to 10, to learn in a forest, school nature area, local park or your own backyard.

Want to build a reading, writing and science curriculum around nature, fresh air and your children’s love of animals?

This is the kit for you!

This is the perfect nature curriculum for children who have a special interest in animals, love drawing, being outdoors, and being active.

Every page of the Nature Explorers journal gives your children something interesting to read, draw, colour, write or make. You can use the whole book, in the given order or mix-and-match to suit you, alongside your time outdoors and know your children are developing their reading and writing fluency and their science knowledge, while still spending a childhood outdoors in the fresh air.

The journal uses a clear font for easy reading and black and white colours for easy printing. You can print as many copies as you need for your children – the whole book or individual pages – making it a resource you can use time and time again.

Your children are guided through the journal with question prompts and invitations to colour the beautiful, realistic animal illustrations which have been hand-drawn especially for Nature Explorers by artist Ruth Toner. Plenty of space is included in the journal for your children to add their own sketches, drawings, notes and writing, so they can create their own science book, based around their favourite animals and your local forest.

The Explorer Field Notes pages can be taken out with you as you go on a nature walk or spend time outdoors and are where your children can write notes and draw sketches of what they see. Back home they can research their findings and use the Forest Report pages to write up what they have learned, collecting these pages along with the rest of the journal’s resources to build their own science book.

The journal is also full of special animal feature pages, activity ideas, and art projects to try in the forest, plus quizzes and questions to consolidate their learning.

And your kids will love the two sets of animal cut-out models that are included: forest animals and bugs! They can colour them in, cut them out, and easily assemble them for play or to create model forest dioramas.
