One page, one sighting. I made this after realizing my kids would tell me about something they saw on camera and then completely forget the details a week later. Now they fill one of these out every time something wild wanders through, and it’s turned into a nice little record over time.
What’s inside:
- Fields for Date, Location, Weather, and Time of Day
- A “What did you see?” section for a few lines of notes
- A blank “Sketch it here” box for drawing what they spotted
- One page, print-at-home PDF, reprint as many as you need
Part of the same Backyard Safari set as the Track Game and Silhouette Game, though this one’s just as useful completely on its own if you only want the journal.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many journal pages do I get in this download?
One page, meant to be printed as many times as you need, one sheet per sighting.
Is this journal just for kids?
It’s designed with kids in mind (the sketch box especially), but honestly I use the format myself too for tracking what’s showing up on my own cameras.
