They may want to pull up flowers and give them to you or take home a small creature they have found. This should be discouraged, the flowers need to complete their life cycle to ensure more will grow there next year. Animals need to stay in their own world and not in cages in our homes. If your child is adamant about having an animal to observe, raise tadpoles and set the frogs free or order butterfly cocoons to watch. You can also set aside part of your yard to watch wildlife up-close. Plant food and cover for small animals, set up a pond, birdfeeder, birdbath or put out birdhouses and bat houses. for very little cost.

These often have busy work and loads of  ideas that quickly become more work for the parent and just another series of worksheets for the child. This is not the point of nature study! You could spend hundreds of dollars on nature study do-dads and kits, books and equipment. However, nature study is one of the few areas your entire family can immerse themselves for very little cost. Start simply, take books from the library until you find one that you can t do without and then buy it used. For equipment, start with a good magnifying glass (and please do go over safety and responsibility) and a notebook and pencil for record keeping and sketches. From this humble start, whole worlds will open up. Start simply in your studies, don t imagine any end result such as your darling child wandering about the botanical gardens chanting lovingly the names of every flower, insect, tree and cloud. Chances are, they will remember the names of the flowers they particularly like, insects that are somehow scary or perhaps beautiful and a few trees like the aspen, which we don t even have around here. Don t limit them to an area. If you headed out to do a stream survey and they are off counting rings on a tree someone cut down near-by, then go count rings too, or stick your feet in the creek and stare at the rocks along the bottom, watching for potential crawdads. Those suckers get big in local creeks. Or go it alone, there is nothing saying YOU can t learn a thing or two. When you are on nature walks, the younger the child, the more they will want to squat and look at everything along the way. This is the time to let them. Don t set out for more than ½ mile and be prepared to take half the day. SMTJhp psc 1310 seriesInputBinUpperTrayRESDLLUniresDLLHPPreAnalysisFalseMSPreAnalysisFalseHPReportSymmetricMarginsFalseHPAlignMarginsForMDTrueHPPrintPreviewFalseHPOverSprayOptionAutomaticHPOverSpray100HPBorderLessPhotoFalseHPBorderLessAutoFitFalseHPMinimizeMarginsFalsePaperSizeLETTEROrientationPORTRAITHPNUseDiffFirstPageChoiceTrueHPDryTimeOptionAutomaticHPDryTime0HPInkVolumeOptionAutomaticHPInkVolumeNormalHPPrintInGrayScaleFalsePrintQualityNormalPrintQualityGroupPQGroup_2HPColorModeCOLOR_MODEHPPDLTypePDL_PCL3HPPosterPrintingFalseHPPosterPrintingOptionPOSTER_2ColorModeColor24TextAsBlackFalseMediaTypePLAINResolution600dpiPQDPIInstalledHPMirrorPrintFalseHPPrintOnBothSidesManuallyFalseHPManualDuplexDialogItemsInstructionID_01_FACEUP-NOROTATEHPManualDuplexPageRotateUserRotateHPManualFeedOrientationFACEUPHPOutputBinOrientationFACEUPHPManualDuplexDialogModelModalHPManualDuplexPageOrderOddPagesFirstHPMapManualFeedToTray1FalsePSAlignmentFileHPZlAlhnPSServicesOptionHPServiceFileNameEndHPCleaningFilesDataHP_Clean_TestPageHPMediaTypeTreeviewPopupTrueHPConsumerCustomPaperHPCustomHPBornOnDateHPBODHPRESDLLNameHPFRES50HPRedEyeReductionOnHPDigitalImagingHPHomePrintingHPSmartFocusOnHPContrastOffHPDigitalFlashOffHPSharpnessOffHPSmoothingOffHPJpegPngPassthroughTrueHPHTDLLNameHPFIGlhnHPMHDLLNameHPFIME50HPAdvancedColorSettingTrueHPCRDCommandTrueHPSendUnitMeasureCommandTRUEHPCustomSizeCommandTRUEHPXMLFileUsedhpo1310t.xmlPIUPHdLetterê oÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ [none] [none]4PÀÀÀÀÀÀd€?ESTHERÿÿÿÿ44dMicrosoft® Works Word Processorÿÿÿÿwkswp.exeC:\Program Files\Microsoft Works\wkswp.exe&winspoolhp psc 1310 seriesUSB001Fÿÿ"\²"€‘"ÑV"$c"ð` "ð`""A."@ÿÿ"\²"ðù"ÑV"$c"ð` "ð`"."Nature Study.wps"Øp"Øp (" dëºÿÿÿÿdë» "ð " ttjj(lëe½Times New Romanÿ³  " " "watching for potential crawdads.
