Autumn Wonders Pack: 12 Nature Field Guides

Leaves changing colour, squirrels hiding acorns, salmon swimming home. Autumn is the season of change, and it's full of things to notice together.

Autumn Wonders is a whole season of nature study for curious kids ages 3-7: 12 printable field guides, one for each week, 128 pages in total. No prep, no special supplies. Print a guide (or open it on a tablet) and you're ready for ten minutes of wonder.

Inside every guide:

• A short read for grown-ups, so you can answer every "why?"
• Five read-aloud whoa facts
• Questions for ages 3-4 and 5-7
• A hands-on activity with a simple supply list
• A tick-it-off walk for a park, a forest trail or a pumpkin patch
• A colouring page drawn for that wonder
• Counting and tracing practice
• A field notes page to draw or dictate what they noticed
• Two picture books to look for at the library
• Sources, so you can read more

Bonus pages: a whole-season scavenger hunt, a weather log, a walk journal and an Official Autumn Naturalist certificate.

The 12 guides: Falling leaves, Acorns & squirrels, Pumpkins, Apples, Seeds that travel, Mushrooms, Woolly bears, Beavers, Wind, Deer, Pine cones & evergreens, Salmon

A few of the facts kids love:

• Yellow and orange are hidden inside leaves all summer.
• There's a star inside every apple.
• Beaver teeth are orange.

Every fact is checked against government science sources like NOAA, NASA, the USDA Forest Service and the National Park Service, and listed on the last page of each guide.

You'll get: one complete PDF (all 12 guides) plus a zip with each guide as its own PDF. Instant download. Printable on US Letter, at home or at the library.
