Lonely Planet Kids Explorer's Nature Journal

Lonely Planet Kids Explorer’s Nature Journal by Emma Carlson Berne is a hands-on children’s nature journal that turns every backyard wander, park visit or weekend walk into something worth keeping. With bright illustrations by Kelly Abeln, it invites kids to slow down, look closely, and build confidence outdoors.

Across six themed sections, young explorers can write, draw, sketch and map what they notice—plants, trees, insects, birds and more—guided by thoughtful prompts about weather, seasons, colours, sounds and smells. Each section finishes with playful activities like an animal scavenger hunt, leaf rubbings and bug mapping, plus extra blank pages for free-form discoveries.

Perfect for curious primary school kids, family adventures, nature craft lovers, and anyone who enjoys outdoor activities without screens.

Pop it in a daypack and let their next nature walk become a keepsake.
