A Fun Nature Study Resource Freebie

I received this in my inbox this morning, and I wanted to share it with you: Nature Study Made Easy, by Shallow & Cullen.  I found it last summer on Google Books, used it for our fall term nature study and plan to return to it again for spring term.  

This lovely book, especially geared toward the elementary- and preschool-aged child, is chock-full of delightful poems, illustrations, short narrative stories, and simple activities and experiments.  

But, don't let the age-range fool you.  This book is so sweet and the exercises and activities so simple yet concrete that my oldest daughter has also enjoyed the lessons immensely.

Today, Wholesome Childhood, is providing a free PDF copy of the book.  And if you haven't heard of Home School Freebie of the Day, also owned by Wholesome Childhood, you should really jog over to their site and fetch something fun and FREE!  This home-based company, run by a Christian home-school family, includes so many fun and free resources, you cannot miss.  One of our fave resources is the weekly and free Home School Radio Shows, and, this week, up to bat is Leo Tolstoy's "God Sees the Truth But Waits."  

Fun, fun, fun!

Hope y'all had a blessed weekend!!  Welcome back.

  1. Thanks so much for this link . . . I've been wanting to do more nature study, though my son is a mere 18 mos right now, but I figure this book will help in the future!
