ReplyDeleteThanks Melanie! I always love seeing your photos from your nature sketchbooks. :)
DeleteReally good suggestions and your little girl is so blessed that you make the effort to do this with her. How do you have the energy to teach outside the home and at home, too? You must be amazing.
ReplyDeleteWe live in the country but you can get to where you don't "see" even here. So we have to make an effort, too.
Have you considered going to a 4-H show? They have all the animals and the kids show them. It would be completely free, too.
That's a great idea! Thank you Elisabeth. :) I'll look into it right now!
DeleteGood for you! You have found many nature study opportunities in an area that's challenging. You have done "wonders," Charlotte Mason would say. :)
