Winter Nature Journal Unit Study

Discover the magic of winter with this Winter Nature Journal Unit Study, designed to inspire curiosity, creativity, and hands-on learning for children ages 3–12. Perfect for homeschooling, nature-based learning, morning baskets, or seasonal unit studies, this flexible resource encourages kids to slow down, observe the natural world, and connect with winter in meaningful ways.

Through age-appropriate journaling prompts, guided observations, drawing activities, and simple nature studies, children learn to notice winter weather patterns, animal tracks, plants in dormancy, and seasonal changes.
