Summary:
You don't need to live near a forest or have a huge garden to have a go at these projects - the activities and crafts in this book can be done on-the-go, in your neighbourhood, or at your local park. Discover the magic of the outdoors and get hands-on with activities that are perfectly suited for young children, as you collect treasure on a nature walk, learn about different types of clouds, create wild art, whittle a magic wand from a stick, and build a secret stick shelter. There are also mindful games that encourage children to tune into their senses and feel connected to their surroundings. Whether your child loves the great outdoors, or could benefit from spending more time away from screens, research shows that playing, learning, and being free in nature boosts children's development and helps them to grow in confidence. Get inspired by nature, be creative, and feel free.
