Chalk Pastel Art Perfect for Forest Nature Study

I want to nurture my children’s passions and interests. When they became obsessed with nature I made sure we did the following:

• nature hikes and nature exploration
• read loads of nature books
• watch nature documentaries
• keep a nature table
• play nature games

Forest Nature Study Helps Grow a Love of Art and Nature

The kids had such fun making the Red-Eyed Tree Frogs with the Chalk Pastel Forest Nature Video Art Lessons! Afterward, we read up on Amphibians in our Animalium book. We even did a Frog Unit Study!

We watched a documentary on snails and caught some at a nearby stream. My son even caught a baby rat snake in the backyard and brought it up to the house for observation before releasing it back into the woods. Later he found the mama rat snakes skin!

Gah, boys, and snakes!
