Spring is the most inviting season for nature study, and your homeschool can take full advantage of every bloom, bird, and bud. This guide covers 15 hands-on spring nature study activities.
Flower pressing is one of the simplest and most rewarding nature study activities you can do at home with children of any age — all you need is a heavy book, some paper, and fresh flowers.
The best flowers for pressing are flat-faced blooms like pansies, daisies, and violets. Press them within an hour of picking for the best color and shape.
Flower pressing takes 2-4 weeks with the book method, or just minutes with a microwave press. Both methods work beautifully for nature journals.
Pairing flower pressing with a nature journal turns a simple craft into a meaningful learning experience that builds observation skills, patience, and a genuine connection to the natural world.
