It's time to rewild the child! This book of outdoor activities, crafts, nature information, and inspiration ties into the burgeoning interest in forest schools and "rewilding the child," with the aim of reconnecting children to nature and the outdoors. The book is divided by season, providing a year-round resource for families. While all crafts and activities are designed to be carried out outside, these are interspersed with factual pages about flora and fauna, which can be enjoyed at home or used as a field guide while out and about. A beautifully illustrated and informative title to spark children's imagination and freethinking. With forest school-themed crafts and activities for all seasons, outdoor exploration can be enjoyed twelve months of the year, always with something new to see.
Our Thoughts:
This fun book has tons of information on just about everything you can find and discover outdoors! It is packed full of fun facts about the forest and all that can be discovered within it. Each bit of information is paired with cute but still rather accurate illustrations of the flora and fauna, making this the perfect book for adventure and nature-obsessed littles!
Learn to identify trees, leaves, fungi, and more. Observe your natural surroundings and learn what to looks for on nature hikes, such as birds, deer, and even snakes. There's plenty to learn about wildlife, from their habitats and dens to their identifying tracks and the sounds they make.
Split into four sections for each of the four seasons, this fun learning and activity book will keep you busy outdoors all year long. Activities include lots of fun things to do or try, such as tree leaf rubbings, building a lean-to, making ink from berries, and more.
We reviewed the ebook version of this but am confident that the physical copy is just as amazing, and probably much easier to take with on outdoor adventures. The illustrations are well done with lots of details and there are plenty of activities and crafts mixed in to give everyone even more reason to spend time outdoors and respectfully observe and discover more of nature.
