This is the SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE version. This simple and easy to use kids nature journal was designed with children ages 6-12 in mind (but of course can be used by any age!). My own kids (so I would assume a few others) were always somewhat overwhelmed by the big open space of a completely blank page when they first began their adventures in nature study. So I teamed up with my 9-year-old daughter, and we came up with a non-intimidating journal that was fun and easy for her to just take out and use any time, with little help from me. It is really a nature workbook of sorts, and has been designed to encourage frequency of use, and therefore develop the lifelong habit of nature observation. The following pages have been included in the front of this nature journal: ¥ A place to record the ownerÕs name. ¥ A list of nature observation tips. ¥ A few handy supplies. ¥ How to use this journal. ¥ Phases of the moon. ¥ A few animal tracks. ¥ Plants to avoid.
