Description
The Quiet Noticers’ Society: Soft, Slow & Sometimes Slimy (Ages 6–10)
Quiet Noticers Society is a gentle nature journal for children who learn best by watching, wondering, and taking their time.
This journal explores snails, slugs, and earthworms as teachers of patience, protection, and quiet strength. Children are guided to observe behaviour, movement, and environment – without rushing to labels or answers.
Inside you’ll find:
-
gentle science (centred around slugs, snails & worms) explained clearly
-
open-ended observation prompts
-
space to draw, write, or simply think
-
reminders that there is more than one right way to do things
This journal is especially supportive for sensitive thinkers, and those who feel overwhelmed by fast-paced or noisy learning.
There are no tests, no right answers, and no pressure to perform.
Noticing is the skill.
Designed around different ways of thinking, feeling and engaging with the world, this journal supports children who thrive with gentle structure, repetition and sensory awareness – without assuming any one way of learning.
Bonus Journal Included
This journal includes a free printable companion,
“And Then We Noticed…” (worth £6.50).
This bonus journal supports open-ended exploration when children discover something that isn’t in the main book. It includes:
-
additional noticing pages
-
flexible field-note style layouts
-
a simple Tiny Clues guide to help children make sense of what they’re seeing without needing to identify everything perfectly
It’s designed to encourage confidence, independence and curiosity — and can be used alongside Quiet Noticers or on its own.
It Grows With Your Child
Quiet Noticers sits at the heart of a slow, supportive noticing series.
Children may begin with Little Lookers, continue with The Quiet Noticers’ Society, and later move into Practice of Noticing for older children and teens.
Each journal builds on familiar ideas and rhythms while offering age-appropriate depth, so children don’t have to start again — they simply keep noticing.
Every journal can also be used independently.
For The Grown-Ups Alongside Them
An optional adult companion guide is available for the people supporting a child’s learning – including parents, carers, educators, grandparents, and other supporting adults.
The companion guide explains:
-
the thinking behind the journal’s structure
-
how noticing supports learning, wellbeing and confidence
-
how to support children without over-directing
-
why creatures and ideas may reappear in different sections
It’s there to offer reassurance and context, not instructions.
A Thoughtful Digital Gift With A Gentle Promise
There is no need to rush.
There is no expectation to finish every page.
Noticing deeply matters more than doing more.
Quiet Noticers is part of a growing collection designed to support noticing as children grow.
