“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
My 2y loves the activities and the pictures are beautiful.
My kids enjoyed the crafts so much! This study was planned out and very smooth. Whittling was a major hit!!
Very much enjoying this curriculum. Love that it incorporates the word of God and has material that leads to meaningful conversations with my kids. Really love the variety of books, though some were hard to find so we had to skip them. I think this would've been enjoyed much more if I had more lead time to try to get the various books and hands on materials, but plan to do again in a few years so for now we are having fun with it.
I have been thoroughly impressed by all the Treehouse Schoolhouse materials and this is no exception! What a beautiful Christmas curriculum! We can't wait to start!
Love the art on the daily rhythm schedule!
Helpful to have this for homeschool organization.
Exactly what I needed and not too large so I can take it with me when I travel. Also, love that it is customizable!
Our toddler loves doing his “schoolwork” while his sister does hers. Keeps him occupied and he loves finding the letters!
This is a simple addition to your already existing lesson plans!

Treehouse Nature Study’s resources are some of the best. I have a 5 year old and nearly 2 year old, and her intermediate nature study provides the perfect mix of fun and solid in depth learning! The art is gorgeous and thrills my own heart; the poems and hands on activities are fun and perfect for kindergarten and early elementary. The books chosen are beautiful and superbly written - no fluff. For their current ages, we actually do 1 week’s worth of the study over two weeks. We have used their Easter study, Autumn, Thanksgiving and will be doing their Christmas and Winter study this upcoming winter.
Prior to using Treehouse, I was using from another similar curriculum., and I was so impressed with how much richer and yet more approachable Treehouse was. Previously, I had to do much more tweaking of the curriculum for it fit our life. In contrast, Treehouse lays out what you need to do and have on hand in such a simple way, that my prep time is nearly non-existent. The teacher’s guide enabled me to jump right in and successfully attempt things like narration and art study (things I had no exposure to previously). We plan to continue to use this for many years to come, as the material easily enables you to scale up or down for your child’s specific needs. It is well, well worth the cost.
This has been a great open and go resource to add to our morning basket.
We haven’t completed this yet so I am hoping to come back and write after the holidays, but this Christmas curriculum is just what I was looking for as we anticipate taking Advent off from our usual homeschool routine. I love that almost all the books are at my library and were easy to look up with the book list page. I love that I was able to purchase everything before hand with a simple glance of the material page. And I love the traditional art work. The only thing I wish it had was for the copy work I wish it had a dotted trace form for my 5 year old who is still learning to write. But I just printed them and wrote it in pencil for him to copy. Looking forward to these beautiful times this holiday season!
While I have not used this yet, just purchased for the upcoming holidays, it looks fantastic and I’m looking forward to it this Christmas season!
