New Ebook Available and a Giveaway!

I am really excited to announce that I have finished writing a completely new ebook for the Winter Series of Outdoor Hour Challenges. This ebook is a unique product that includes not only ten nature study challenges but three months' worth of art and music appreciation with a winter theme! I wanted to write a separate winter themed art and music appreciation ebook this year but I just ran out of time. This ebook is a combination of all the things that I love in one easy to use place. If you are looking for simple and easy plans for the winter...this is the ebook for your family.

Here is an overview!

• 10 Winter Series Outdoor Hour Challenges
• 13 custom notebook pages to complement those challenges
• 3 different artists to study-one per month (Caspar David Friedrich, Gilbert Stuart, and Claude Monet)
  
• 3 different composers to study-one per month (Vivaldi, Waldteufel, and Dvorak)
  
• 11 custom notebook pages to use in following up your art and music study
• 3 paintings included for you to print or view
  
• Ideas for art projects to complete your art appreciation with common art supplies you probably have on hand
• Resource list
• Clickable links

In total, this new Winter Nature Study ebook is 56 pages long. You will have a complete plan at your fingertips for your winter nature study, art appreciation, and music study. All of the art prints are included in the ebook and there are links to viewing them online as well. All of the music planned is available to listen to online. You will need to have the Handbook of Nature Study in order to complete the nature study challenges. I have aimed to keep these challenges and studies as simple as possible with very few additional resources needed.

Please realize that the challenges will still be offered for free on my blog over the next ten weeks, starting Friday, January 8th. The ebook gathers the challenges all into one easy to use resource along with the custom notebook pages. If you purchase the book now, you will have the complete ten week plan all at one time for you to use as you find time. The notebook pages will *not* be offered on the blog for free this time.

To recap how this all works-

Winter Nature Study with Art and Music Appreciation Ebook: Contains all the challenges, custom notebook pages for nature study as well as art and music appreciation, and three months' worth of art and music appreciation. 56 pages for $8.95.
(This is the complete project and includes all the items listed above in one ebook.)

Winter Series of Outdoor Hour Challenges: Same weekly challenges as in the ebook but available through the blog on Fridays at no charge. There will be no notebook pages offered for free, but you can easily use the generic notebook pages from my sidebar at any time. This is the perfect option for families on a budget who are interested only in nature study.

The winter themed art and music appreciation plans are only available with the Winter Nature Study Ebook above.

Please note that this is the first time you will be paying me directly and I will be emailing you the PDF Ebook. There can up to a 12 hour delay between your payment and my sending the file to your email address. I will endeavor to send the Ebooks as fast as I can but if you order late at night and there is a time difference, it could be as long as 12 hours before you see this wonderful book in your inbox. It is worth the wait.
