Our kids are 6 and 3, and our favorite nature activity is hiking, and camping. We also love to go “collecting”, we collect acorns, pine cones, leaves, sticks and sometimes just take pictures of the beautiful things we see.
I have two boys, 11 and 7. We enjoy taking walks and collecting different items (leaves, berries, water samples from creeks, types of bark, etc.) and look at them with a magnifying glass when we get home. Sometimes, not all of the time, we draw what we saw in our nature books. I did see a neat idea: put masking tape (sticky side out) around their legs, ankles, etc..and have them take a walk through the woods and look at what they “collected” when they get home. Haven’t done that yet.
I have a 6 year old and 2 year old and We love using nature to learn! Math, crafts and science! I feel it helps my daughter learn in an environment that comes natural to kids. She’s learning her addition with acorns:)
My kids are age 10, 8, 6, 4 and 2. Our favourite nature activity is walking in the hills and woods around our house. We especially love to watch the red kites flying overhead.
11 and 13. My 11 year old loves bird studies mostly. And my 13 year old likes crafting with organic material she finds outside (e.g pine cones, stones, leaves etc)
I have a boy who loves to go looking for toads, frogs and minnow and is currently kerping a garter snake.

My kids are 8, 6, 4, and 2. They are currently loving sledding with all the snow that has dumped recently. 🙂

I have one daughter, 10. She loves finding animals and bugs, gardening and all outdoor activities. She has been caring for 4 toads she found in our yard for a year. She also cares for a bearded Dragon. This is our first year homeschooling and it has been a real blessing.
Good morning 🙂
my kid’s are 10 & 11. We love nature hikes, there’s a wonderful woodsy garden trail near our home we walk often. It really shows the kids the tiny changes the environment makes on a regular basis.
My kids are 3, 5, &11. We’re lucky to live in Northern Michigan with Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore nearby. 4 seasons of beauty, nature, and fun for the whole family. We can do all of our favorite activities: swim, hike, and xc ski, birdwatch, and track animal prints. Plus the wildflowers are spectacular: huge wooded patches of trillium and jack-in-the-pulpit. Breathtaking!
I like oak meadow abd simple homeschool on fb also.
My 3 Children are Almost 12, 9, and 7. They are such a delight to us. Our favourite nature activities ?? Hmmm, there are so many. We have recently moved to the other side of the world from New Zealand to Canada. In New Zealand our favourite thing to do was to look in the creeks on our farm, for eels, and small fish, and even birds nesting in the banks of grass, now we are in Canada we are experiencing a whole new environment that is covered in snow. We love watching the squirrels rushing about and waiting everyday for the arrival of spring so we can see what is truly out there. We can’t wait identify plants and small creatures featured in our Canadian guides. We keep a nature table to collect and enjoy the things we find out and about,that are interesting around our yard and neighbourhood.
My children are 5, 3, and 1. I’ve been researching curriculum and am drawn to Oak meadow. Our favorite nature things to do are explore the wild, pick berries, garden and just be outdoors!
My four kids are 6, 4, 3, and 1.5. We love camping as a family, taking hikes and exploring. The kids love finding bugs, leaves and pretty rocks.
My son is 3 and we love hiking and snowshoeing.
Our girls are 5, 3, and one on the way. Our favorite activities are taking walks and hikes. And spending time in our garden and with our chickens.
I have a 5.5 year old, 4 year old and 11 month old. We live on a farm near a state park and we love to walk the trails there.
My children are ages 8, 7, 6, and 5 and one of our favorite activities is star gazing.
I have a five year old son and we’re enjoying the start of our home education journey! We LOVE exploring new trails even in the winter and are grateful for all the wonderful Mass Audubon properties we have nearby. At the moment we’re under 80″+ of snow and we’ve been making pinecone bird feeders for our winter feathered friends. A favorite pastime is trying to identify the ones that having been visiting our home.
I have ‘liked’ both of the sites. I would be so excited to win this. I think I would use it for Miss 7.
My kiddos are 4, 8, and 12. It’s hard to nail down our favorite nature-based activity. Morning walks would be a highlight because they allow us to wake up our bodies, play with one another, interact with the natural world and notice the little things.
I like Simple Homeschool and Oak Meadow on FB!
My children are 12, 10, and 4. We love to go on nature walks. We like to collect wildflowers, rocks, etc and identify them in field guides. Then we draw them in our journals.

Ages 5.5, 3.5, and 1.5…hiking and nature walks!
Our two girls are 4 and 9. With the cold cold weather we’ve been having this year and being blessed to live on the shores of beautiful Georgian Bay, Canada we get to go for ‘moon’ walks on our beach. The Bay is completely frozen over so our little one says she loves to “walk on the ocean” where she knows she goes swimming every summer. Our older one runs around and discovers the most beautiful ice sculptures formed around the trees, rocks and shrubs dotting the shore line. She identifies mythical creatures in these frozen sculptures and together with her little sister they make up stories complete with characters, plot and story lines. They both feel as though they are on the moon and dig to find ‘yeti’ treasures buried deep in the snow and then try to moon walk (ie: jump high and land in the snow…not Michael Jackson 🙂 over the snow dunes. Though freezing cold (even too much for our big shaggy dog) the girls can stay out exploring forever. It’s only a cup of hot chocolate and marshmallows that brings them back down to earth and head home to warm up their toes.
My son will be 7 in a few weeks. We love spending time in the woods, playing in the dirt and hiking.

My child is 6 and and we love bike riding as a family…when our little world isnt covered in snow, that is. 😉
My kids are: 14, 13, 11, 9, 7.5, and 4. Our favorite nature activity is simply to play ‘Explorers.’ Basically, we go to a location (park, river, lake or backyard) and see what we can find. What animals do we see? What plants are around? Any nests in the trees? Interesting rocks? Fossils? Neat looking sticks? The possibilities are endless!
Our children are 10, 8, 6, 3 and another one arriving early May. We have been looking at Oak Meadow for next fall, so what a timely giveaway! Our favorite nature activities are bird watching/identification, plant/flower/tree identification and all around just being out in it! Thanks for the offer.
I have only one son. He’s 14, and the magical childhood years are waning. Like others his age, it’s all about the digital. Constant screen images and chatter are what he craves, and the natural world pa les in comparison making it challenging for him to see the beauty of nature. For us, I take the simple approach when it comes to spending time in nature. Most times, it’s a simple walk in the woods. After a while, the quiet seeps in asks he starts to notice things. He starts to hear the sounds of nature and the best part is, he can feel it, literally. Ha grabs a stick, climbs a tree, jumps, runs and scrambles. I show him that nature is truly the best medicine and it doesn’t require anything of you but to listen and be a part. I don’t know if he will always love nature like I do, I’m sure the digital age will win out in the end. But I’m hoping that he at least takes notice, and when he’s struggling or overwhelmed with the worries of the world, to take a walk in the woods and, breath in the fresh air, feel the sun on your face, listen to nature’s song, and let It all go!
Mine are 22, 14, and 7, and hiking trails that require climbing up rock faces and avoiding falling off outcroppings has been a favorite of late. We’re also studying herbs this year and learning how they can be used……now we just need spring to arrive so that we can plant some of our own!

What a lovely giveaway! My children are 12, 11, 8,7, 5, and 4. Our recent focus nature-wise has been to identify all of the trees on our block. We’ve figured out all but two, and then we plan to widen the circle to the blocks to either side of us. We’ve been surprised by the variety in this urban neighborhood- we think it is because it is an old one (120 years this year).

My children are 18, 15, 11, and 7 — three girls and a boy. We love going on “Goat hikes” with our good friends, the Thompsons. Goats are very fun companions and can do quite the acrobatics when coming back down the hills! We find great rocks, sticks, cacti, and even fossils on our hikes.

My kids are little still; the oldest is a preschooler. We love to do nature walks and just play outside. We love our parks and the programs they offer too.
My son adores animals, rocks, water, gardens and anything that allows him to explore and develop his love for learning. He constantly asks questions about animals and nature. He loves to move and has lots of energy so we love to get outside and explore. He has been asking to do activities and we have started learning directed by his interests and he is having a great time. Hands on activities are the right fit for his personality. He will be turning 4 this year.

Wow! My daughter is 3 and we’re planning on homeschooling her (and a large part of that desire comes from the experience we’ve had rearing my 17-year-old stepson, who did attend school but always wished he was home-schooled). Right now our favourite outdoor/nature activity is snowshoeing (and for her, following in her sled) but we live in the country, so in the spring/summer/fall I’d say it’s… everything! Hiking, swimming, gardening… Good thing I started seedlings already, because I now long for spring!

My children are 6, almost 4, and 2. Our youngest has a lot of health challenges, so we don’t get out as much as we’d like to. But we do our best to make park days and walks a priority. My kids come alive outside. Everything is exciting. Even in our little back yard. They enjoy the adventures that each season brings. I’ve been looking into Oak Meadow for a while now and it looks like it would be perfect for my hands-on kids.

My children are 4.5 and 1.5. We have a small hideaway park by our house. My boys love to get their rain boots on and go down to the water, throw rocks, fish with sticks, climb on fallen trees, and just explore. We take a snack and a book and just do whatever. 🙂

I have 4-year-old twins and 17-month-old twins. The 4-year-olds LOVE to do “scavenger hunts” outside. We come up with a list of things to find together, and then the two of them compete to see who can find their 5 or 10 items first 🙂
Liked Oak Meadow and Simple Homeschool!
My sweet babes are 7 and 5. We love to hike in all kinds of weather.
Like them both on fb.
2 and 6. Our favorite nature based activities are visiting a Botanical Garden near our home (in the summer) and making snow forts in the winter. Thanks!

My kids and 4 and 2 and we love going to an amazing park near us that’s in the middle of suburbia but feels wild and free when you’re in there.

3 years old, right now we are enjoying picking up seashells on the beach and using them to dig
2, 7, 11. The beach, the park, the creek.
Liked both on FB
So many people, of all ages are not getting time with nature, a long-standing remedy for most mental ills. A curriculum that is built around nature is a treasure.
my kids are 11 and 8 and we are lucky to live in the midst of an amazing park with a greenway and an awesome creek that runs through it. Our favorite nature activity is to visit one spot my kids have dubbed the “weather station” to check out the height and briskness of the water. We also have a fountain that the kids love to check for water bugs and once we caught a giant crawdad!
Liked both on Facebook.
My kids are 6, 8 and 12. We try to go on hikes in some of the local preserved parks where the local habitat has been protected. There are often nature centers there also. We take our sketch books and hike! We also enjoy the beach.
Our favorite nature based activities are hiking, camping, hanging out at the beach. We have just started bird watching this year. My son is using the Apologia Zoology I science book this year and it has turned us on to bird watching. Even our 2 year old likes to look at the birds.
Oh, our kids are 11, 7, 2, and 4 months
My kiddo is 7 and our favorite activity is to go to a local nature trail for time outside. Thanks for the giveaway!

18, 16, 15, 13, 8 and 5. The park, the woods and walking around lakes!
I have three kids age 6, 4, and 10 months. We like to go hiking in a sub-tropical nature reserve near where we live in Guatemala, which includes waterfalls, rope bridges, and a butterfly garden. Very fun and lots of different plants to study!
10 and 6. When we lived in TX, we loved discovering the plants and critters around our neighborhood, particularly lizards, frogs, snakes, and geckos! Now that we live in the Midwest, we enjoyed collecting leaves in the fall, and finding frogs. We are excited for Spring and what we will find!
5, 3, and 1. We love spending afternoons at our local nature center. I think I’ve learned just as much as the kids!

Aloha,

I have 4 children, three are grown and a 10 year-old at home. We have always loved all types of nature activities. Living within hours of the beach and in the foothills of the mountains, with many rivers and lakes, our favorites change as fast as the seasons. If I had to choose one it would be hiking. I wish I had been aware of such wonderful homeschool curriculum following nature when my older children were young!
My children are 3, 6, 9 and 11. Our favorite nature activity is going to the river and skipping rocks in the water. Alternatively, diverting where the river falls to the lake using rocks.
We have a 13 year old son. Our favorite outdoor adventures are prospecting for rocks in the mountains and treasure hunting for sharks teeth on the Florida beaches!
Liked on Facebook. Already like oakmeadow 🙂
My son is 14 and in 8th grade. We love camping, walking trails (he really loves the battlefields), walks on the beach, and loves star watching!

My children are 3 and 5, with a third on the way! We love hiking, camping, beach time, snowshoeing and tubing in the winter.

My kids are 22, 17, and 10. Our favorite outdoor nature activity is gardening.
Liked both on facebook.

My son is seven, almost eight and we live surrounded by forest overlooking the ocean in New Zealand. In a very teeny house. Oh, I would love to experience Oak Meadows with my boy. The natural world inspires us in many ways in our learning journey. I love my son’s nature diary. When he finds something new to him, he draws and writes about it. And these nature mandalas were the best activity out!

My daughters are 8, 5, 2 years and 8 months. We usually go on hikes to our nearest wood or beach, letting kids do whatever they want, and my second just asked to buy her a magnifying lence, so will use it for exploring nature. And sometimes we get in a car to see te landscape in other places. Also my mom has a farm with plenty of aminals, so kids like to help her there.

My daughter is 6. We love all things outdoors. We have a little garden. We hatch butterflies every spring. My daughter loves rocks so she is always searching for something new. We also live by the beach so you can imagine how big her shell collection is
My two boys, 4 and 8, love getting out to their fort in the woods in all weather. They have found a tree whose roots are exposed by a river bank, that they can climb under and play imaginatively, in the green space just 5 minutes from our home. Little kids paradise!!

Hello,

I already like both pages on facebook. 🙂

Although we live in a very urban area with lots of tall buildings and concrete, my son always manages to find a gift of nature to bring home from our walks. We keep a collection of leaves, types of acorns and feathers. Recently, he found a fallen tree limb on out way to the train. We schleped all around the Chicago El with this branch, just the perfect size for a staff (think Gandolph). He got many admiring comments from the other passengers.

we love to play together outside
lawn games or just exploring the woods in our backyard
biking and rollerblading all over the neighborhood
I have one child, 5 turning 6 in June. We live in a very rural area so the outdoors are a part of our life, not just activities. My kiddo is a nature junky! We are blessed to have a good amount of land of our own plus next-door family land to explore (over 100 acres total). That would be our favorite “activity” – exploring, embracing, enjoying every aspect. In the summer we frolic in a hollow we call “Pixie Hollow” and in the winter we sled all the Big Hills!

Been a long-time “liker” of Simple Homeschool but have “liked” Oak Meadow also. I would love to use their curriculum as it would be such a natural fit in our home. The expense is the drawback…hard on a one-income family. This money, if won, would help so very much!

When we lived in the country, we were surrounded by corn fields. We would take daily nature walks (in the field when the crops were down or on the trails by the fields when the crops were planted).
Now that we live in town, we will have to find another activity. We are close to the park that has the creek, at least.
Forgot to say my kids are 7 (son) and 4 (daughter).
My boys are 4 and 1. We love to tend to our garden and to go on camping trips. Hiking and trips to the park and Nature Center are also some of our favorite activities. We are so excited for spring to come so that we can get outside more and introduce the youngest to the great outdoors!

On our way either to the temple or on the way back we’re always able to spot something fun and exciting! Inevitably we almost always find frogs and often snakes when the weather warms. It’s not my favorite, but the kids love it!
My twins are four years old. In the Fall we like to collect different colored leaves. I love the Fall colors!
We have a toddler (turning 2 this Saturday!) whom we take on camping trips. She mostly loves our treks up the mountains!

My girls are 10 and 7. We love OM and I love SH, too. We love hiking around the lake to find flowers or birds.

Hi
We love nature walks and hiking!
I liked Oak meadow and simple homeschool on Facebook!
Our kiddos are 7, 5, and 1. Our favorite nature-based activities are taking beach walks and hiking.
My children are 17, 15, 12, 9, 6, and 4. All of them enjoy being outside, but the four youngest in particular spend a great deal of time in a nature preserve very close to where we live. (By “very close”, I mean it’s about 400 yards. It would take longer to put seatbelts on than in takes //to walk there.) My 4yo was very excited to see a fox a couple of weeks ago, and we love seeing flamingos and other water birds all winter. (The water dries up in the summer.) I think tree-climbing is the hands-down family favorite, though, for everyone except my husband. 🙂
We have a 4 year old and an 8 year old and live on the West Coast of New Zealand. We are lucky to live in a place surrounded by one of the worlds few native rainforests which we love to explore, watch native birds and discover unusual insects even letting them crawl on us (wetas) or eating some (huhu grubs)!
