What is a Calendar of Firsts?

Quite simply a Calendar of Firsts is a calendar where you record, either in writing or in pictures, the first time you notice a natural phenomena during the year - such as the first time you notice wild garlic in flower or hazel catkins.

A year to remember...

A Calendar of Firsts can be a real keepsake to treasure in years to come.

Not only does it track seasonal changes throughout the year, but the observations you record are likely to have a back story attached to them such as the excitement of when your child saw a ladybird larvae for the first time or a memory of an observation whilst on a special walk.

A deeper connection to nature...

Keeping a Calendar of Firsts will also provide the benefit of helping both you and your family to become more mindful in nature - by consciously looking for seasonal changes you will develop better observation skills, and in turn, a greater appreciation of, gratitude for and connection to nature.

Inspired by Charlotte Mason...

“It is a capital plan for the children to keep a calendar – the first oak-leaf, the first tadpole, the first cowslip, the first catkin, the first ripe blackberries, where seen, and when. The next year they will know when and where to look out for their favourites, and will, every year, be in a condition to add new observations. Think of the zest and interest, the object, which such a practice will give to daily walks and little excursions.” Charlotte Mason, Vol. 1 p. 54
