Join us for a new online class: Nature Journaling for Kids! Thursday, April 2nd at 1pm, all happening through Facebook Live. This event is for children of all ages, but geared towards elementary school kids. 

You'll learn what scientists put into their journals, talk about different ways YOU can nature journal, and we'll start our own journal entries together. We'll emphasize the importance of making good observations, and talk about how writing or drawing are just tools to help you observe. 

What you'll need:

1. You could begin with just paper, a pencil, and a surface to write on. If you like, create your own journal before the class: you could staple some pieces of computer paper together or grab an old notebook.

2. Any other art supplies you want to use are welcome: markers, colored pencils, or paints. 

3. Most importantly, you'll need something to draw. If you have a good window near your computer, you could just look outside for inspiration! If you spend time in nature before the class (neighborhood walk or backyard play) try to find a natural object to draw. It could be a leaf, stick, acorn, pinecone, or anything that looks interesting. Remember, don't collect anything that's still alive. 

This session will be approximately 20 - 30 minutes long, led by Madison Audubon's education director Carolyn Byers, and will all be on our Facebook page during the event and also available on YouTube afterwards.
