We are really, really excited about it because while we have been doing nature study on our own for a while now, I wanted something to give us a bit of guidance as we look more closely at the world around us. I grew up in big cities, and we live in a suburban neighborhood so sadly I can't say I have ever given much thought to nature until a very curious child began asking a WHOLE LOT of questions.
I just finished making a nature box where Alex can store some of the treasures he finds while on his nature walks and he has already found a few leaves, flowers, and even a snake skin to put in the box. Here's a little peek at my handy work. (The stone-texture paint was AWESOME!)

That is so cool. I can't wait to see it up close.
