Dawn Malosh replied to Kylie Robertson's discussion Nature Journaling - Science meets art in the group Outside Art Lessons

"I have a really fun lesson that has children find things in nature that look like the letters in their name for the cover of their nature journal. It helps them find a connection to nature and have a creative journal cover with their name."
