Wild Fields Learning

If you’ve been scrolling through crafting forums or social media, you may have come across the idea of a   temperature blanket . I had heard about them for awhile, but it wasn’t until a sweet friend of mine introduced me to the concept that I seriously considered making one. At first, the project seemed overwhelming—after all, it’s a big commitment! But this year, I decided to give it a try, focusing on the school year instead of a full calendar year. I started in August and plan to keep crocheting until May. Who knows? By then, I may decide to keep going.  If you’re curious about creating your own temperature blanket, I’ve got you covered with all the basics! What Is a Temperature Blanket? A  temperature blanket  is a knit or crochet project that preserves time by recording daily temperatures through colors. Each day, you crochet or knit a row of your blanket using a yarn color that corresponds to that day’s temperature. Normally, these blankets track an entire year...

Here we go! Are you ready for the holiday shopping extravaganza? I'm never truly really ready for the shopping side of the holidays. It's not my favorite part, but I've found that having a handy list can make a world of difference. With a simple guide to keep track of ideas, my shopping it a little more organized and also more enjoyable.  As a little holiday gift to you, I'm sharing this list for FREE! It's perfect for all ages and has places to jot down everyone's favorites, like their go-to store, favorite snack, color, characters and candy.

Did you know that each full moon of the year has its own unique name? I have to admit, I didn't realize this myself until I started homeschooling my boys. I always knew about the full moons, but I had no idea that each month's moon has its own special name and meaning.  When is the full moon? The full moon will be big and bright in the sky on Friday, November 15, 2024. This year we are in for a special treat because it's our last Supermoon for the year! The Beaver Moon This month's full moon is called the Beaver Moon. The name comes from this time of year when beavers are busy preparing for winter by gathering food and building a cozy shelter to keep warm. Beavers make sure they have everything they need to get through the season, just like us chopping wood and making delicious soup in preparation for the cold weather.  Next Full Moon Next month's moon will be the Cold Moon on Saturday, December 14.  It's exciting to learn the names and what meaning they have. P...

Autumn is officially here, and I couldn't be happier! The weather in Oklahoma has finally cooled off, making it the perfect time to enjoy the outdoors. Last week, we took a trip to the Parkhurst Pumpkin Patch in Arcadia—a family tradition we look forward to every year. This place has everything you could want in a fall outing: tons of pumpkins, adorable farm animals, hayrides, a corn maze, and a gift shop full of delicious treats. We loaded up a whole wagon of pumpkins this year, and it’s been a blast decorating our home with the different colors and shapes. November is all about gratitude, family, and friends. I absolutely love this season; it’s such a wonderful time to pause and reflect on all we have to be thankful for. To help foster gratitude this Thanksgiving season, I've put together a couple of printables to make it easy to keep track of your blessings. These adorable designs can be used to create a banner, a bulletin board, or even a gratitude apple tree....
