7 Steps to Creating Your Own Nature Journal

 
How do you keep a Nature Journal? 

Discover God's First Classic through Nature Journaling

This earth was created by God and all things denote there is a God. This is God's first classic and through its workings we can see God's hand and learn eternal laws. The door to our Father's study can always opened by us. It is easy to introduce and integrate science, art, and literature into your homeschool curriculum through nature journaling.
