Letter N
We love nature walks. Part of it is we live in the woods. Part of it comes from a love of bugs and tadpoles. Outside is part of us. A few days a week we walk and explore. Sometimes that means spending ten minutes observing a woodpecker or chasing down a walnut that gets kicked like a soccer ball all walk long. Or balancing or climbing on a natural playground full of fallen logs and stumps.
Getting a terrarium and a heavy-duty butterfly net was exactly what my son needed to do experiments and raise some bugs and tadpoles.
The letter N is the fourteen letter of the alphabet. Aiden picks net, now, and nail when he’s asked for a N words.
An N sounds like nuh.
Activities and ideas:
- Take a journal with you on a wooded trail. Draw, write, and collect from your adventure.
- Nut bowling. Set up acorns as pins and use a walnut or other round nut to knock them down.
- Create a gnome or fairy garden pot. Encourage small plants to grow in it and bugs to enjoy

As a homeschooling mom, I know one of the homeschool essentials is a good-quality printer with cheap ink. Make sure you look at the cost of the ink before you buy. The printer price isn’t the price to worry about. We have an old one we bought about 10 years ago. Totally worth it. It doesn’t even have to have both print cartilages to print.
