As a result of the sidebar poll, I will be pulling together a series of Winter Challenges in the same style as the Autumn Series. I am excited with this new format and I am really glad that you all are finding it helpful too. It keeps things fresh. I have been inspired by what you all have shared in the Autumn Series this time around.
I know there are many of you who started off strong and have now tapered off with the autumn challenges, but there is no time limit and you can complete any of the challenges at any time and post a link.
I encourage you all to at least complete the Cattail Challenge, the Autumn Tree Study, and the Autumn Weather Study if possible so you can participate in the coming seasons as well.
I wanted to make available in a easy to use way the series of Winter Wednesday challenges that I posted last year that go along with the Discover Nature in Winter book. I have posted them on the right sidebar of the blog and they will remain there for you to use as you wish. If you need some additional inspiration, please click the Mr. Linky links for each Winter Wednesday post to see how other families completed the challenges.
I will post the first new Winter Series of Outdoor Hour Challenges on January 1st and they will continue for ten weeks.

I am excited to start the winter series, but I think I am just going to jump in at where ever for the Autumn series.
ReplyDeleteMost of the work on the garden and the house is done (well, not *done*, but suspended because of climate), so I think we'll be up for the Winter series too. I remember how we enjoyed it last time. We'll be a lot more focused on the nature journal this time too, since Amie has really ramped up her drawing activities.
ReplyDeleteI love your new picture!
That sounds great! We are just starting Nature Study, and this would be the toughest time of year to begin, I think, because once we get rolling, we'll be into winter and hard up for projects. Thank you so much for doing this!
ReplyDeleteYay this is so exciting!!
ReplyDeleteWe do need to catch up on a few autumn studies so hopefully we can squeeze those in!
I'm looking forward to this series! I need to get a few of our autumn challenges up on my blog and complete a few more. :) We've enjoyed them so much.
ReplyDeleteWe are just beginning, but I LOVE the winter, so I am excited about doing this with my kids. I will look at the autumn ones now, you recommend to do them all before beginning the winter challenge?
ReplyDeleteSounds good! We looked for squirrels on our trip to Plymouth last week. We found some, and cattails too. Your series has motivated me to get outside with the kids and we're finding much more than just what we're looking for. I'll get to posting this week I hope.
ReplyDeleteGoddess in the Groove,
ReplyDeleteThe cattail, the autumn tree, and the autumn weather are all challenges that you will complete in every season over the next year. It is most interesting to be able to compare each season and see how the subjects change.
