Wild Kids Magazine for December 2020
Happy December! It doesn’t seem possible that this month is upon us already. This month also marks two years that I’ve been putting out Wild Kids Magazine, which doesn’t seem possible. I’ve always said that I would take it year by year in deciding whether to do another year, and I’ve decided to commit to another one, even though my family always thinks I’m nuts because I am so frantic at the end of every month putting it together! 😉 It seems like the world needs all the nature and fun it can get right now. Our first year’s botanical coloring pages were for wild foods to forage, and this year’s…

May 2020 Wild Kids Magazine
Welcome to the May issue of Wild Kids Magazine. To be honest, I wasn’t sure I’d be able to get this issue out. I’ve been rather sick, a consequence of burning my candle at both ends far too much the past few months and being very sleep deprived and stressed right when I needed a healthy immune system. I’ve been feeling better the last few days though and I put together an issue after all. I used last May’s issue as a template and I’m afraid I had to use the same poetry page, but I put together some new things to try to bring you some nature fun…

Wild Kids Magazine for April 2020
Welcome to the April issue of Wild Kids Magazine. This month is a different sort of month for most of us around the world, so I’ve adapted this month’s issue to reflect that. Most of the focus is on ways to enjoy nature at home, even indoors, like sprouting vegetable scraps, planning and starting gardens, looking for wild edible plants in our own backyards, and watching the stars from the balcony at night. It’s important to note that even in times like these (especially in times like these), nature is vitally important for our emotional and physical health. Sunshine, fresh air and light exercise are all great ways to further…
