Studying nature is one of my favorite things to do with my kids in our homeschool. We love to watch the birds on our feeders outside and the leaves changing colors out our windows. But as the temperatures drop it becomes harder and harder to become inspired in our nature study. But there are so many amazing things happening in nature during the wintertime.
- Animals scurrying around looking for food or burying deep below the surface of the ground to sleep the winter away.
- Birds adapting to the colder months, showing their vivid colors against the stark, white background.
- Snowflakes falling with their intricate designs.
- The trees resting for the winter, getting ready to share their goods when the weather warms again.
No matter where you live, winter visits in one way or another. In this course, you’ll receive one lesson per week on
- Winter Birds
- Weather during wintertime
- Trees in Winter
- Animal Hibernation and Winter Survival
- Maple Sugaring
In each lesson, we’ll cover different aspects of each topic, a project or creative art, books to read, poems to recite and copy, and nature journal prompts. We’ll create our own nature journal where we’ll log our nature walks, draw pictures, and record our findings. We’ll also copy beautiful poems into our nature journals.
We’ll also create things with our hands from things found in nature. Each nature walk will take on new meaning when we starting seeing nature in a more artful way. While on nature walks, we’ll talk about taking photos of what we find in nature and what we can do with our photos later.

About the Course Creator
Hi! I’m Alicia Hutchinson, creator of Nature Kids Winter Course and Learning Well Community. I love to create content and courses for homeschooling families because I am so very passionate about homeschooling and teaching others about it! I have four kids who we have been schooling at home since 2008.
I created this site, Learning Well Community, not because homeschooling is all flowers and unicorns and everyone should do it, but because I know how hard it is! Juggling all the things: each kid and their own needs, state requirements, home needs, having a job, being a wife, making meals–this is hard stuff, ladies! I get it and I know what it’s like and I also don’t want you to give up. It might be hard, but it’s also SO amazing too. Let’s stick with it! Let’s stick together!
I hope you’ll visit over at my blog where we share lots of curriculum reviews, organizing ideas and more!
