I wanted to share two workbooks for parents Homeschooling children or those that want to keep there children learning during the Summer. Nature Smarts Workbook, Ages 4–6 & Nature Smarts Workbook: All about Water (Ages 4-6) these are the perfect #Homeschool Resources. I received these workbooks in exchange for this review. Inside this post is my affiliate links. If you click on the links and make a purchase I will make a small percentage off the products you purchase.
Nature Smarts Workbook, Ages 4–6 allows our children to learn about Animals, soil, insects, Birds and more. Inside the workbook is puzzles, and games along with outdoor Science Experiments which will get children off electronics and outside for a bit. A Godsend for parents. Charlie enjoyed learning to be nature smart and to always look under our feet when outside.
II liked reading through the book and I found plenty of words Charlie and I would have been able to use in our Language Arts Spelling Class. Even though this workbook is for children from 4-6 both children and adults of all ages can learn from this book. There is plenty of reading in the notebook that is perfect for reading class and would allow us to get our 30 minutes of reading in.
There is crafts to do in the book and a supply list which will allow us to go on a Homeschool #FieldTrip and why at the store don’t forget to pick up pencils and pens to use in your notebook. For extra fun there is a page called “what do you wear when” and you could visit a store to pick out clothes they say you should wear. Or go through your closet and put on a fashion show modeling the clothes and discussing which Season they are for and how they can be worn during more than one Season.
The book is broken down into chapters which will help you plan lessons for your students. I can see both Homeschool Families and also schools using these workbooks in there classrooms. I like that there is a answer key in the back of the book if we get stuck on a question. If your look for a way to keep kids busy this Summer I hope you check out these books. if your running errands or traveling they would be the perfect books to bring along to keep children busy for hours on end.

It’s fun to be nature smart! Nature Smarts Workbook, Ages 4-6 is packed with interactive learning activities that expand STEM knowledge to include nature literacy.
