It is about time we got back to our Nature Journals. Our leaves do not last long here in Alaska so we have a short window of fall leaves to do whatever we need to do to our leaves.
We gathered leaves of all types and brought them in for crayon rubbings. Here are some blessings peeling crayons.

Rubbings, blessing #1 really enjoyed this and said he could spend a lot of time doing so, he did!

Blessing #2 wanted a little closer look at her leaves.

Finally, they cut out their leaves and glued them into their nature journals. I read about leaves and trees from the Handbook of Nature Study.
Then, we cleaned up all that mess from cutting and pasting and crayon paper, etc.
Alaska living, home education, gardening, hunting, fishing, trapping and preserving the harvest
