Growing Naturalists. You do not need everything on the supply list. I have included
everything for easy reference. Before each lesson, I recommend reviewing what activities
you may do that week. Then, I encourage you to be creative and use things you may
already have around the house. General household items are not included in the supply
list. If you don’t already have the exact item recommended, you can often make a few
adjustments and use something you do have. The supply list is available on my Amazon
storefront here: https://www.amazon.com/shop/growingnatu07
