In addition to the online course, you'll also receive access to Kristin's PDF book on Nature Journaling (digital only). This is the consummate guide to nature journaling with your children. You’ll not only learn how to choose supplies, draw specific items from nature, and make it a consistent part of your homeschool, but you’ll also find a treasure trove of illustrations and photos from Kristin’s own journal. It’s as much a collector’s item as a practical guide.
