I literally just printed off a coloring page each week and the children colored while they listened to a chapter. Each chapter is between 10-15 minutes of reading.<\/p>\n<p>I wouldn&#8217;t be doing the resource justice if I said that was all it is, because it includes a lot more. There are picture book suggestions and nature study suggestions, as well as suggested reading in the Handbook of Nature Study. I look forward to a time when I can do those other things. For now, the coloring page and the audiobook have been a lot of fun! It has sparked questions from my children about the different animals. They are a lot more engaged than they were when we were just reading the Burgess Animal book and narrating. Even my child who hates to color is coloring these!<\/p>\n<p>A fun idea that we plan to use when the weather warms up is to set up a wildlife cam at night to see which animals are active in our neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cmsimplestudies.com\/products\/nightcreatures?aff=62\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Simple Studies: Night Creatures<\/a> is available for $10 from the Simple Studies website.
