Friends, it’s time for another peek into the real life study of nature! In this post, you’ll see how easily Amber Oliver and her children were able to explore and discover wildflowers through an interest-based nature study.

In this spring wildflowers nature study, we’re talking about one of my very favorite nature topics of all time! If I asked you to name your very favorite flower, what would it be?

I’m also amazed at how each season presents me with new flowers that I’ve never noticed before – each with awesome characteristics that are different…
This month’s nature study is focusing on wildflowers. Our farm is just abundant with wildflowers this time of year! During last week’s study, we placed a blanket among a field full of wildflowers to read books and praise the Lord for His magnificent beauty. Afterward, I sent the kids off on a scavenger hunt. …
