Nature Study: Wild flowers

Yesterday was wildflower nature study. Audrey has been terribly sick with allergies, so we are home bound right now. Walks can't happen, but during our drives, we have taken note of the wildflowers on the side of the road. We choose four of the most abundant right now to study. Here's what I did. I found a copy of Texas roadside wildflower nature book and also a copy of a wildflower field guide at the library and then looked up the four we wanted to learn about. We are planning a trip to nature tomorrow and then, we are going to take pictures of them. For now, I had the kids draw a picture of the flower into their nature journal.


This is a Pink Evening Primrose.
This is a Firewheel.
Some people call it an Indian Blanket Firewheel.


This is called a Prairie Verbena.

 This is the ever common Dandelion. They are everywhere right now and the one flower my kids look for everywhere to blow the fun seeds.



Time to journal. This is Laura's journal.


This is Audrey's.
