Encourage curiosity, creativity and a love of the outdoors with My Nature Journal, a hands-on nature journal for kids ages 5–10.
This physical activity book invites children to slow down, look closely and record what they discover outside. Kids can draw, write, investigate, tell stories and complete nature challenges in their backyard, at a park, on a hike or during a family camping trip.
Created by Nuučaan̓ułʔatḥ educator and author Zoë, My Nature Journal helps children build a stronger relationship with the natural world through observation, creativity and respectful exploration.

Thirty Days of Nature Journaling
The 30 Daily Nature Journal pages encourage kids to return outdoors and notice something new each day.
Children can record what they see, hear, feel and wonder about. They might document an interesting leaf, a bird visiting the yard, changing weather or a tiny creature discovered during a walk.
There is no need to travel somewhere special. Nature journaling can happen in a backyard, neighbourhood, local park or even while looking through a window.
Creative Nature Activities
This book includes much more than blank journal pages.
Children can search for objects in nature, create texture rubbings, draw their way through the alphabet and turn their outdoor discoveries into original comic stories.
Activities include:
- Finding natural objects during a scavenger hunt
- Looking for seasonal changes
- Drawing animals, plants and outdoor discoveries
- Creating rubbings from different natural textures
- Writing and illustrating nature stories
- Recording questions and observations
- Reflecting on memorable outdoor experiences
Build Observation and Creative Thinking Skills
Using a kids nature journal encourages children to pay attention to details they might otherwise miss.
As they explore and document the outdoors, children practice:
♡ Observation
♡ Drawing and writing
♡ Creative storytelling
♡ Asking questions
♡ Seasonal awareness
♡ Mindfulness
♡ Scientific thinking
♡ Respect for the natural world
The activities are open-ended, so children can complete them in their own way. A budding scientist might fill the pages with questions and details. An artist might focus on shapes, colours and textures. A storyteller might imagine adventures inspired by the places and animals they discover.
Take It on Every Outdoor Adventure
My Nature Journal can be used throughout the year and in almost any outdoor setting.
Bring it along for:
♡ Backyard exploration
♡ Family nature walks
♡ Hiking and camping trips
♡ Visits to parks or beaches
♡ Road trips
♡ Homeschool nature study
♡ Summer break activities
♡ Weekend family adventures
♡ Quiet, screen-free time
It also makes a thoughtful gift for curious kids, young nature lovers, budding artists and children who are always collecting rocks, leaves and tiny outdoor treasures.
Created for Kids Ages 5-10
The activities are designed to be flexible for children at different reading and writing levels.
Younger children can draw their observations or complete pages with help from an adult. Older children can add more detailed writing, questions and reflections.
This makes My Nature Journal a book children can return to as their confidence, knowledge and curiosity grow.
