Take a peek inside this mini nature journal that I made one afternoon in my backyard while I did my laundry. The pages are bound together with a rubber band and a stick. The medallion on the front cover is a symbol of the interconnectedness of all beings. The little bird on the back cover is drawn on a piece of birch bark.

Nature journaling ideas are glued inside the front cover and a book plate is attached with space to put my name.

Plants and animals. Draw quickly or they will fly away!

Draw 3 different kinds of leaves.

Look up! Look around!

What do you see?
