A beautifully designed book full of creative ideas and fun activities to get your children outdoors, with a foreword by Chris Packham.
Spending time outdoors and interacting with the elements gives our senses a host of stimuli that cannot be recreated indoors. Whether you’re splashing in muddy puddles, making shelters, foraging blackberries, playing hide and seek or watching birds, experiencing the natural world reduces stress, makes us feel alive and lays critical foundations for a healthy developing brain.
Learning with Nature is ideal for parents, teachers and youth workers looking to enrich children’s learning through nature and teach them to enjoy and respect the great outdoors. Written by experienced Forest School practitioners, it is packed with more than 100 tried and tested games and activities suitable for groups of children aged between 3 and 16, which aim to help children develop key practical and social skills and gain a better awareness of the world. The book is well-organised and features step-by-step instructions, age guides, a list of resources needed, and invisible learning points.
Explore, have fun, make things and learn about nature with this fantastic guide.
