Weekend homeschool links
Kids are 9, 3 and 1. With Daddy as a park ranger and me a former state park naturalist, we certainly incorporate lots of nature study! Gardening, hikes, camping, canoeing and just general exploring are our favorites. Sounds like this curriculum is right up our alley, and I’ll definitely be checking it out!
Also, liked Oak Meadow and Simple Homeschool!
My kids are 10, 12 and 14 and we like to spend time camping in our family’s RV in state parks!
My girl is fifteen and my boys are two and a half- we love snow shoeing, sledding and ice fishing this time of the year. We’ve been eyeing the maples, getting ready for one of our favorite winter/spring treats- maple syrup! It’s almost time to start tapping those trees!
We’ve always been facebook fans- would love to get our Oak Meadow pre k curriculum!
My 5 and 2 year old love to help in the garden. I’m eager for Wisconsin to thaw so we can get digging!
My sons are 10 & 6, they both enjoy nature hikes, park play, gardening, and scavenger hunts.
My children are 12 and 10, and our favorite nature activity is hiking in the woods.
I liked both pages on FB. Thank you!
Our kids are ten and thirteen. We enjoy rustic tent camping, backpacking, hiking, swimming, and fishing.
Our kids are 8, almost 6 and 3 months. As we currently live in Japan, our favorite weekend activity includes hiking through the many woods by our home and seeking out temples and shrines. 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!

Our kids are 5 and 2 1/2 and we are enjoying harvesting at the moment. It’s just turning to autumn in New Zealand so we’re picking the last blueberries, while the grapes, peaches and tomatoes are just coming into their own. Daily garden rambles and picking sessions are happy times. We love our near-daily family walk, too.
Mine love being outside looking at bugs and digging in the dirt. Right now they enjoy sledding and building with the snow.
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.
My kids are 7, 9 and 12. Favorite activities are hiking and splashing around at the waters edge (river, lake, stream, pond), not in swimwear I might add, but fully clothed as apparently that makes is much more exciting.
My kids are 13, 9, 7, and 3. We enjoy hiking through the beautiful California trails. I’ve like both Facebook pages:)
My kids are 21,20,18,17,15,14,12,10,8,7,5,4 and 2. We love to go for nature walks.
I “like” both pages . Thanks!
My kids are 4, 3, and 1 and most recently our favorite outdoor activity has been playing in the SNOW!!!!
I like both pages on Facebook.
My kids are 17 and 12. We love to go hiking and foraging for wild edibles.
Oak Meadow and Simple Homeschool are already on my “liked” list. 🙂
I have 2 boys, ages 13 and 11. We love being outside on a blanket as we read and do some of our work. But, activity-wise, we like to hike, camp and especially lighting fires and roasting marshmallows. Another favorite is to mimic the outdoor/natural artist, Andy Goldsworthy!
My daughter is 8 and we love going to the river for walks and picnics.
