12-Week Course and Full-Color Book
The Young Naturalist is a collection of lessons, projects, handcrafts, videos, and tutorials designed to help you and your children experience the bounty of nature. These activities are meant to be carried out each weekday for 12 weeks, but you can complete them at your own pace or even pick and choose to suit your schedule. You'll also receive a 156-page, full-color book in the mail to accompany the online course. Let’s take our children back to the place where they belong. It’s time to bring them home.
Note: Due to mailing costs and failure rates, we are no longer able to ship the book to any other country besides the USA and Canada. You can still purchase the course; however, we are unable to ship the book overseas.
In this course, you'll explore 12 fascinating aspects of nature:
Each module includes a lesson, a handcraft, nature journaling, an illustration, and a guided activity.
For over a year and a half, a team of Wild + Free mamas created thoughtful pieces to the content bundles that would eventually become the Young Naturalist course. Recording videos, documenting step-by-step tutorials, taking photos, and creating beautiful projects - they put their heart and soul into one of our finest resources yet.
These eight women brought their unique talents and insights to each lesson, focusing on their own specialties - illustration, nature journaling, handcrafts, activities, and projects - resulting in this remarkable resource.
The online course comes with a beautiful 156-page, full-color book in the mail. (available only to the US and Canada)
Each lesson includes a video tutorial where each contributor shares the project, tutorial, or lesson for that day's study.
Whether it's a handcraft, an illustration, a project, or nature journaling, you can help your kids become young naturalists.
When you finish the assignment, you can mark it as completed.
Mary Ann Evans, said, “We could never have loved the earth so well if we had no childhood in it."
It is only through personal experience that our children can truly become young naturalists.
