Bearly Awake | Children's Journaling Set | Nature Journal | Printable Activity
Science, Life Sciences, Animals, Not Grade Specific, Worksheets, Worksheets & Printables
A beautiful nature journaling set for children. Youngsters can combine pre-painted characters (bears, a squirrel, autumn nuts, berries, and leaves) with the stunningly illustrated background scene. The scene has plenty of space for children to add their own drawings and writing to create wonderful journal pages to treasure. This set ideally lends itself to the study of animals in autumn and how they prepare for winter, record observations in nature around you, or combine with study from books and objects. The sheet of illustrations makes ideal additions to autumn displays. To create a tactile finished item I highly recommend printing onto high-quality paper, I like to use watercolor paper as this also allows the children to add their own paintings to the pages they create and means that every piece looks and feels like an original painting.
