Nature Journal Prompts
Keeping a Nature Journal can be a life long activity
that returns many benefits. Imagine in your later
years looking back on journals of natural history
documented from your perspective. Its likely you
would be able to show younger generations some of
natures finest that is then extinct or endangered, but
was once plentiful in your youth. The natural world
changes over time and its appreciated by all if there
is record to reflect back upon.

Instilling the love of keeping a Nature Journal at an
early age will also benefit children in many ways. It
encourages them to train their eyes for careful
observation and opens the doors to asking questions
in the spirit of investigation. Because nature can be
seen at many angles, a childs Nature Journal will be
individual to them and instill a sense of
independence. Keeping a Nature Journal also instills
a deeper appreciation of our beautiful Earth and
atmosphere. The benefits are endless.

!Teaching children about the
natural world should be seen
as one of the most important
events in their lives.! -
Thomas Berry, The
Dream of the Earth
!Children learn best through
their everyday experiences
with the people they love and
trust, and when the learning
is fun, and the best place for
these experiences is outdoors,
in the natural world! "

Communiti es, School s

from Nature, the source of my
inspiration$- Cl aude Monet
We have created a listing of 13 different Nature
Journal prompts across all four seasons, giving
you 52 prompts in all. The prompts are designed
so that you may print them and use in various
ways; for example, you could tuck each of the
prompts in to a Journal Jar per season to pull one
per week to use as inspiration, or you could cut
and paste the prompts to individual pages in a
blank journal so its ready to fill with writing,
sketches, paintings, and more. Keep a journal by
season or by nature theme. There are many ways
you can use these prompts for inspiration, just use
your creativity and imagination!
