We did it! Summer is in full swing and whew, is my family ready for it! Of course, we never actually put a full stop on the learning over the summer (learning happens everywhere).
If you’re looking for some simple resources to help get the ball rolling this summer ~ and help keep the momentum going with science + nature studies ~ I can help you out!
Summer Solstice Nature Study
The Summer Solstice ~ the longest day of the year ~ is only 4 days away (on 6/20)! If you’ve ever wanted to help your kids learn about the why behind the solstices and seasons, this little unit is for you. In this printable, your kids will:
- Learn what makes the seasons
- Discover the difference between solstice and equinox
- Make a flower crown
- Read about solstice traditions around the world
- Learn about shadows with a human sundial
- Make sun tea
- Create a sun banner
- and more!
{OR, check out my Solstice Bundle which gives you a discount on both Summer + Winter Solstice studies!}
The Garden Notebook
The Garden Notebook is a printable guided nature journal and planner for your little one to explore and record the seeds, plants and insects in the garden.
From garden pollinators, to the seed life cycle, to pests and seed starting, this beautiful little notebook is a perfect addition to the summer growing season.
My favorite part about this notebook are all the planning pages, like the garden map, plant profiles, seed planning and tracking sheets, and more. I *wish* I had something like this when I was a kid!
