Nature Study Books for Christmas in the Homeschool

Since the Christmas season can bring along busy days and sometimes cold weather, it can be difficult to incorporate nature study into your homeschooling routine. I’ve created a list of Christmas nature study books that will help you bring new and inviting ideas to the table without tons of effort.

Each book description gives you an idea of how to use these books as living literature resources. Hopefully, they will spark curiosity and a hunger for learning. How could they not? Especially when the first story on the list includes a yummy cookie recipe!

Christmas Nature Study Books

Cranberry Christmas

This classic story comes with an incredible recipe for cranberry cookies and an even better story about friendship. Use the book as a jumping-off point to take a nature walk to hunt for some berries. Several plants in the wild still have berries in December! After you have read and explored, whip up a batch of cookies and deliver them to someone to brighten their day.

An Orange for Frankie

Every year, Frankie’s dad brings oranges to the children for Christmas, but when there is a bad storm with a ton of snow, it looks like his dad won’t make it in time.
