“Early in our home education I went on a search for a gentle guide to take our family on an educational journey through the seasons. I wanted something that was simple and beautiful and that introduced my children to art, poetry, living books, and nature in an organic way. I couldn't find what I had dreamed up in my head, so instead I developed it. My hope is that Treehouse Nature Study is a tool to truly awaken delight and wonder in your home education.”

FAQs
How long do the lessons take?
Since the lessons are presented as a menu, the amount of time spent on lessons can vary from family to family. It can also vary depending on the ages of your children and the depth at which you desire your children to explore the topic. For our family, we use it as our morning time plans, for about an hour, 3-4 days a week.
How many days a week should I do lessons?
The lessons plans are set up for five days a week, though many families prefer to pull certain pieces from from the weekly plans and schedule only 2-4 days a week. Other families may use one week of lesson plans and spread the lessons for two weeks. Let the curriculum be a guide and serve your family.
What subjects does this cover?
Treehouse Nature Study Primary incorporates picture study, poetry, language arts, copywork, and natural science. Treehouse Nature Study Intermediate incorporates picture study, poetry, computer and research skills, language arts, creative writing, and natural science.
How do I use both Primary and intermediate together?
All of the week’s themes are identical to THNS Primary, making using both of them together seamless and straightforward. I recommend preparing the books and materials for both studies and guiding your children of all ages to engage with the study at their level, while maintaining the atmosphere of family-centered learning.
What are the differences between Primary and Intermediate?
In THNS Primary you will find hand rhymes, folk songs, a lot of fiction picture books, and simple hands-on projects and experiments. In THNS Intermediate, there are in-depth language arts connections, like creative writing and creating an illustrated dictionary. You will also find more non-fiction titles, multi-media links like videos, and podcasts, and more in-depth notebooking opportunities and experiments. Both levels offer poetry and art study, just at different levels. The best way to know which level is a good fit is to download both levels’ free weeks and compare.

Let customers speak for us
I love how everything is planned out and we can either follow the curriculum as designed, week by week, or if my daughter really loves a specific nature study topic, we can linger there for a couple weeks. Its really very adaptable to every family need.
I love how it's so easy to use, such a must have when you are homeschooling
I love this nature study so much!! Perfect for my two year old to learn and explore about topics I would never thought about teaching her! We love the field trip ideas that give us an opportunity to get out of the house and still learn about the topic for the week
My preschooler loves this! He looks forward to “checking the weather” and telling me about it. Thanks for making these available!
We love these flash cards, there are so many ways to use them to keep learning fun.
These are a great resource for learning the letters and how to write them. We’ve only been using them for a short period of time but I can already see the benefits. Highly recommend if you’re starting preschool, my sons favorite part is filling in the letter with Playdoh or buttons or pom poms.
This nature study has quickly become my kids favorite part of the homeschool day. I have a 9 year old, 6 year old and 4 year old at the time of writing this... and this nature study has allowed us all to learn together in such a fun, engaging way. I am so excited to see what all the future weeks have to offer!
Everything has been great so far and my kids love the different themes each week!
I love how it is customizable and accommodates both my kiddos at different levels. It’s easy to use for this first time homeschooling mama. I also love how it includes a tracker for curriculum and various field trips throughout the year. It’s a great way to look back at all we did this year.
I have 4 boys and these have helped tremendously! I rotate the weekly chore charts, so the boys get a change each week. My older boys and myself utilize the daily rhythm charts. Highly recommend! Thank you!
Great illustrations, engaging and easy for my 5 year old to complete on her own. Her grasp of the calendar and telling time is obviously improving even with just two weeks of use!
The sheets themselves print out nicely with good saturation.
Exactly what I needed to make letter formation interesting enough for my 3 and 5 year old to stay on task. The illustrations are beautiful, and the colors are nicely saturated. I appreciate the extra instruction on how to form each part of the letter, which helps with more fluid handwriting in the long run. You’ve done it again Lyndsey and the Schoolhouse team!
Rooted is so rich and beautifully put together! It is full of biblical truth and beauty. My children and I love doing this study together daily!
We have both levels of nature study.
This is our favorite level! The hands on activities and recipes are awesome and the recommended book The Lost Art of Reading Nature Signs is amazing with this.
I bought this as our sole curriculum for my four-year-old. It's beautiful, multidisciplinary and has been a gentle and engaging introduction to more structured learning. I'm looking forward to years of working through these lesson plans and building on her knowledge of each subject. Bonus: It's so wonderful to have our weeks structured around seasonal subject matter!
