I recently read How to Keep a Naturalist's Notebook by Susan Leigh Tomlinson. I really learned at lot from this book! Now, my 10 yr old son is enjoying it. It has a lot of specific, basic information for those of us who are not at all artistically inclined, including:

exactly what to put in a field bag
how to use and buy binoculars
how to choose a sketch book
specifics and exercises on how to use watercolor pencils
sketching basics
basics on field identification

We are combining this resource with Tin Cups and Tinder.

I plan to post on my blog our specific plans in a few days if anyone wants to see them for ideas :).

Thanks for the link Caroline. I've read the Clare Walker Leslie Keeping a Nature Journal. I like how you combine the Naturalist Notebook with Tin Cups and Tinder. I bought TCandT and couldn't quiet figure out how to implement it this lovely book. And the Naturalist NOtebook has some great topics too. Now I have some thoughts

Bumping this up. My library finally got a copy of this book and I get to pore over and make our plans. Timing is terrific because I need to plan our Nature Club for our local homeschool group.
