A Year of Nature - Step into Spring

Step into Spring is a gentle, magical guide to exploring spring with your child.

Spring is a season of quiet wonder — buds unfurl, skies widen, and the world begins to feel alive again. This guide invites you and your child to step into that magic together through slow exploration, shared moments, and everyday discoveries in nature. You can see video of the full guide on my instagram and see lots more examples of whats inside.

Inspired by play and life based learning as well as Scandinavian philosophy, A Year of Nature: Step into Spring helps you support your child’s natural curiosity, creativity, and development without lessons, pressure, or preparation.

You don’t need special knowledge or resources. Simply step outside and notice what is already there.
