What do your children collect during nature walks? Mine collect rocks. Lots of rocks. They collect a few feathers and leaves too. Some bark? I've been studying nature journaling and think that although we collect a lot of items we're not recording our nature experience, we're not taking note of our observations. We're not journaling!

I want to find a way that we can begin journaling in a way that suits us and fits in with our nature walks. Often during our walks we wander but don't always (with a busy toddler) stop. How can we collect our nature items and use them to keep a record of our experience? We've started with some adhesive sheets. 

It's fun. The boys take an adhesive sheet on their clipboard and stick to it what they wish. Otis tries with a few rocks, sometimes they make it home. Date stamped and bound - it's the start of our nature journal. So far it's looking very pretty.
