Description
This set of 23 hand-illustrated ABC Australian Nature Activity Cards (downloadable) which can be printed, have been created by a primary school teacher, artist and Eco Explorers bush playgroup facilitator Kate Rijs. Each card has a beautifully illustrated item for each letter of the alphabet that can be commonly found in most Australian backyards. The cards have been designed to help young children to learn their letters and sounds while also promoting curiosity, wonder and an appreciation of the natural world. To be consistent with the lettering used in many Australian schools the words are written in unjoined Victorian Cursive script.
Slightly older children and accompanying adults can also join in the fun with the prompts provided in the accompanying booklet. Four of the ways that we connect to nature is by observing it, wondering about it, engaging with it and learning about it. Included with your set of cards is a four-page accompanying booklet with learning prompts for each card aimed at encouraging observation, a sense of wonder, active engagement and also knowledge with some fun facts provided about each item.
Developed for both parents and educators as a quality educational and learning resource. Simply download and print!
There really are infinite ways to use these cards to learn together and connect with nature. Kate has shared a video on how you can use the cards here.
Enjoy the adventure.
Excellent for homeschool learning, for families who love exploring the outdoors, for bush kinders or early childhood services, and even for schools as activity cards outdoors or in a craft/art area or to hang for visual inspiration.
