I am so impressed with this guide. I absolutely love nature study and have done quite a few different curriculums and programs with my kids. This is my absolute favorite. It is for K-4, but I believe everyone in the family will enjoy it and learn from it. The layout is beautiful and inviting. The projects are fun, but also not too complicated. It is perfect for learning and making memories with my kids.

Highly recommend.
We started Seasons Afield last week, and we started with the bloom lesson. It was a very engaging lesson that my children and I both thoroughly enjoyed! My 6 year old daughter could not get enough of the dissecting flowers, I don't know if I have ever seen her that involved in a nature lesson.We adapted the guide to fit our seasonal needs, and included a few different activities where I needed to. This is a great program that you can follow step by step or adapt and use as a tool in your children's education.We are all excited to continue this nature and science program and I would 10/10 recommend!
