Little Lookers: Lots of Legs
A Gentle Nature Journal for Children Aged 3–5
Slow down. Look closely. Wonder together.
Introduce your little explorer to the fascinating world beneath logs, leaves and stones with Little Lookers: Lots of Legs – a gentle nature journal for children aged 5 and under designed to help young children discover the tiny creatures most people walk straight past.
Created for children aged 3–5, this beautifully illustrated journal encourages curiosity without pressure. There are no quizzes, no scores and no expectation to know the answers. Instead, children are invited to notice, wonder and explore at their own pace.
Inside they’ll meet woodlice, millipedes and centipedes, discovering how each tiny creature lives, moves and helps the natural world in its own unique way. Through simple observation prompts, gentle movement activities and space to draw, children learn that looking closely is just as important as knowing names.
Perfect for gardens, parks, woodland walks, Forest School sessions and family adventures, Little Lookers helps build confidence, curiosity and a lifelong connection with British wildlife.

Because looking is enough.

Little Lookers is a growing series of gentle nature journals that help children slow down, look closely and fall in love with the natural world—one tiny discovery at a time.
Designed for Every Kind of Little Looker
Designed around different ways of thinking, feeling and engaging with the world, this gentle nature journal welcomes children exactly as they are. Whether a child loves talking, prefers quiet observation, enjoys moving, drawing or simply looking, there is space to explore in their own way.
FREE Bonus Journal For Children Included
This journal includes a free printable companion,
“And Then We Found…” (worth £4.50).
This bonus journal is also designed for children aged 5 or under, especially for moments when children discover something that isn’t in the main journal – supporting open-ended noticing and reminding children that nature doesn’t fit into neat boxes.
It can be used alongside Little Lookers or on its own.
A Nature Journal Series That Grows With Your Child
Little Lookers is the first journal in a slow, gentle noticing series.
As children grow, many families choose to continue the same calm approach with:
-
Quiet Noticers (approximately ages 6–10)
-
Practice of Noticing (approximately ages 11+)
Each journal builds on familiar rhythms while offering age-appropriate depth, so children don’t have to start again — they simply keep noticing.
Every journal can also be used on its own.
For The Grown-Ups Alongside Them
An optional adult companion guide is available for the people supporting a child’s exploration – whether that’s parents, carers, educators, grandparents, or other supporting adults.
The companion guide explains:
-
the thinking behind the journal
-
how noticing supports learning and wellbeing
-
how to use the journal without directing or correcting
-
why some creatures may reappear in different contexts
- activities beyond the journal itself
It’s there to support you, not add to your to-do list.
