Nature Study: Buckeye Tree

I sent the kids outside with their nature journals and a tree identification book and they made a great discovery! They correctly identified a buckeye tree in our backyard and they had so much fun collecting the fruit and opening them up to uncover the beautiful, shiny buckeyes. They collected 17 in all and even shared one with someone who was going for a walk in our neighborhood :)  Here are some pictures from our fun day.
