We've mainly used it this year as a calendar of firsts, as is suggested in our Nature Study curriculum (Exploring Nature with Children). You just mark on the calendar when you see the first crocus, harvest the first tomato, first hear the geese heading south, etc. You save it and next year you can know what Nature milestones to expect and when! I love the idea of creating a perpetual Nature calendar!
Here is the art we made for 2021, but if we do another calendar which is specifically meant to be for Nature's Firsts, all of the artwork will be more Nature themed.
