Product Description

Introducing children to the excitement of the natural world, this guide to outdoor adventure provides hours of creative, safe, and fun activities. Children will learn how to build a den from branches, make twig boats to sail across a pond, and voyage through the backyard to find tiny insects and creatures.

Perfect for families, caretakers, and educators, this creative resource encourages children to turn off the television and play outside all year round.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get Outside!, Nov 8 2009
By Shawn K. Hall "Mr. or Mrs. Hall" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Nature's Playground: Activities, Crafts, and Games to Encourage Children to Get Outdoors (Paperback)
This is a year-around treasure of helpful ideas for all parents. Nature's Playground is beautifully illustrated, with an attractive layout. Fiona Danks and Jo Schofield share their creative experiences on getting kids outside to play in every season -- not just the summer months.

Nature's Playground has a sturdy cover, with bookmark flaps, which I simply love. Whether you read the book through from start to finish, or pick and choose activities, this book is a wonderful resource. Older children might enjoy it so much they decide to read it on their own.

You will find tips for parents to help keep the kids from getting into trouble with nature, complete with supply lists, so make sure you have everything on-hand before beginning a new project.

It's like having your own personal nature guide along with you in your adventures. This book is perfect not only for homeschooling families, but single parents, who don't have time to plan activities themselves and for busy parents everywhere. This is one book that will get used all year long.
