Becoming a Young Naturalist
12-Week Course and Full-Color Book -- Currently Sold Out
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. We hope you’ll take these opportunities to get outside and learn. Let’s take our children back to the place where they belong. It’s time to bring them home.

The Creators of the Young Naturalist Course
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 beautiful full-color book in the mail. For a limited time, we're offering FREE shipping!

Instructional Videos
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.
