Wildflower Studies

Mahayla on the wildflower scavenger hunt.
Caleb checking off his scavenger hunt list.
Eli scavenging wildflowers to hit with a stick.
After the scavenger hunt, each of the big kids had to go in search of one flower that was new to them to bring back to the blanket. They had to identify it and write down various characteristics and information on a notebooking page.
Filling out a notebooking page for the flower of their choice.
Caleb's flower = Heal-All
Mahayla's flower = Evening Primrose
As usual, we had such a lovely time basking in God’s creation! You can find the notebooking pages we used (and more), plus TONS of wildflower activity ideas in the NaturExplorers unit Wonderful Wildflowers.

I wish we were able to add an identification guide in the unit! But, unfortunately, it would be way too hard to pinpoint flowers from many places around the country (and even our around the world friends.) I use the National Audubon Society’s wildflower field guide. I love the way it’s organized and it’s very thorough considering how many wildflowers are in my area! Good luck finding a good one that works for you!

Thanks for the comment! I have also wondered about identifying wildflowers. Does the nature study on wildflowers have an identification guide included, or do you recommend a book/field guide?
Thanks for doing these nature studies! I’m excited to use the Fruits and Nuts soon. Already have a pile of related books from the library to use with it!
