For older children Dr Jeff's weekly challenge could be fun - you have a week to work out the solution before it is posted on the blog. These seem to be more science related challenges.


The Outdoor Hour - based on Anna Comstock's book Handbook of Nature Study. These are fun and easy to do and can be done in any order. A great place to start if you are wanting to do nature study CM style and need a helping hand to get started. (As you will probably combine a nature notebook with this time this challenge covers art as well as science and also developing important skills such as observation and memory.)

Not Weekly challenges but lots of ideas for you to use weekly
