Materials needed:

  • A cardboard box cut into a piece slightly bigger than A4 (outside cover). 

  • A selection of A4 paper making up the pages (you can use different colours if you have a variety).

  • An elastic band or string to hold your journal together.

  • Optional: an envelope (A5 or smaller) and a glue stick - glue on the inside cover and use as a pocket for pencils and anything you wish to collect (if you don’t have one at home, you can make one from paper).

Instructions:

  • Fold all of your paper in half (you can fold them all together).

  • Fold your cardboard in half and put it on the outside of your paper (like the cover of a book).

  • Use your string or rubber band to keep the pages (paper) inside of the cardboard cover.

You can take your nature journal with you on your nature walks. Collect interesting leaves and flowers to glue into your journal. You could research about them and then write what you find out. You can also fill your journal with observational drawings, diagrams, photos, notes, poems… whatever you like! Have fun recording your discoveries in nature!

This awesome resource is from the DOC Create a Nature Journal page.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
