FAQs
What age group is SEASONS OF WONDER designed for?
Seasons of Wonder is designed for families with children ages 4 and up. The activities are flexible and can be adapted for multi-age learning, making it ideal for homeschooling families, nature groups, or anyone who wants to explore together. Younger children will enjoy the hands-on elements and art, while older children can dive deeper into journaling, research, and more detailed projects.
HOW IS THE CURRICULUM LAID OUT?
Seasons of Wonder is designed as a guided journey through the year, not just a stack of lessons. Each season includes a beautifully illustrated map you can print and follow, marking your family’s progress as you travel through five phases of discovery. The path gives you structure, but there’s also flexibility- you can move at your own pace, linger where curiosity leads you, or even skip ahead to what excites your family most. The map makes the experience feel like an adventure, with your children charting their own course through the wonders of the season.
DOES THIS CURRICULUM WORK FOR INDIVIDUAL STUDY OR A GROUP?
Both! Seasons of Wonder can be enjoyed as a family or within a larger group such as a co-op, homeschool community, or nature club. Each guide provides activities that work well one-on-one, but also offer opportunities for discussion, shared projects, and group exploration.
ARE YOUR PRODUCTS SECULAR?
Yes. Seasons of Wonder is a secular curriculum. While it emphasizes awe, wonder, and connection to the natural world, it does not include religious instruction. Families of all backgrounds and belief systems are welcome to adapt the materials in ways that fit their values.
HOW MUCH TIME DOES IT TAKE EACH WEEK?
The flexible design allows families to spend as much or as little time as they’d like. Some activities may take 20 minutes, while others can stretch into a full afternoon if your child is inspired. You can fit Seasons of Wonder into your rhythm in a way that feels natural.
ARE THERE A LOT OF MATERIALS I NEED TO PURCHASE FOR THIS?
Nope! Seasons of Wonder is intentionally designed to use simple, everyday materials- things you likely already have at home or can gather outside. Occasional projects may suggest art supplies or household items, but there’s no long shopping list required. Our goal is to keep the focus on nature, not on buying extra supplies.

You can begin with any season! The curriculum follows the natural rhythms of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, so it works beautifully no matter when you join in.
