30 Free Nature Study Resources
Nature study is a fun way to learn more about the world around you. Charlotte Mason said this: “An observant child should be put in the way of things worth observing.” Nature study doesn’t have to be something expensive… in fact… it’s free. I know there are a lot of paid nature study resources out there, but there are plenty of free ones as well! Here’s a list of 30 free nature study resources that I hope you will find helpful to your homeschool.
