When we invest our heart in it, learning can be natural and fun!
For instance, scrap the hours of educational TV and spend lots of time outside instead, preferably in a place where there are ant hills in the dirt and squirrels scurrying through the trees. Where there are little streams and mud puddles. Where you’ll naturally warn of bumblebees and groan about all the dandelions. The kids will climb the trees, notice (and play in) the fallen leaves, and see the flowers go to seed.
And from all those things, they will have their first natural introduction to the hydrologic cycle (water cycle), zoology (animal science) and botany (plant science). But they’ll think they’re just playing!
