Nature Journaling for Kids

A great way to encourage kids to explore their surroundings and connect with nature, come and start your nature journaling at Studland.

  • Booking essential
  • Free event

Using words and pictures, kids will start off or add to a nature journal, as we take a walk through woodland, dunes or the beach. We will talk about what we can see, hear, smell and feel along the way and use drawings, words, poems and stories to record it. Younger children can make a nature bracelet along the way.

Pens, pencils and paper will be supplied but feel free to bring along a notebook if you have one you would like to use.

Accompanying adults need to book a ticket too so we are aware of numbers for the event.
