Ideas for Learning with Nature Walks

A Production of the Ultimate Homeschool Podcast Network.

Cindy WestIdeas for Learning with Nature Walks with Cindy West. How you can use nature walks as an entire science curriculum and teach numerous other subjects. Homeschool Sanity Show podcastOne of the huge perks of homeschooling is we can get outside to do our learning.

In my interview with Cindy West of Shining Dawn Books, I was not only motivated to take more nature walks with the kids, but I was also inspired to learn that nature walks can easily comprise an entire science curriculum!

To find out how and all the other subjects you can teach with nature walks, you’ll want to listen to this episode.

I really can’t say enough about Cindy’s ebook 100+ Easy & Fun Creative Nature Walks. As a very busy, spur-of-the-moment, homeschooling mom, I love that I can have access to the ideas on my phone or tablet so we can learn on the fly. They take very little preparation and go beyond learning to making memories.

Other excellent books authored by Cindy which were discussed on the podcast include:
