Description
The Practice of Noticing: Mini Beasts Journal – Pace & Power is a calm, thoughtful digital journal for older children and young teens who are ready to explore the natural world with more depth, independence, and reflection.
Designed for ages 11+, this journal invites young people to slow down, observe closely, and think critically about how different creatures move, survive, and contribute — without rushing to labels or right answers.
Mini beasts become teachers:
-
of different kinds of strength
-
of quiet contribution
-
of pace, patience, and purpose
-
of how power doesn’t always look loud or fast
This journal blends:
-
gentle science
-
careful observation
-
reflective prompts
-
space to sketch, write, and think
It is especially supportive for neurodivergent children, sensitive thinkers, and those who don’t always thrive in fast, competitive learning environments — while remaining welcoming and engaging for all.
There is no pressure to perform or identify everything correctly.
Curiosity is enough.
Noticing is the skill.
