The kids will think they’re just having fun and we won’t tell them otherwise. But you know that every project in this book is helping your young ’uns learn about nature, gain life skills and become confident, capable outdoor adventurers. Give ’em hands-on experience when they build a sundial, dig for fossils and send smoke signals. Encourage an appetite for knowledge with activities like making nettle tea or picking (and eating!) blackberries. When night falls, teach them how to tell spooky stories and navigate by the stars. There are oodles of choices both far afield or closer to home – like treasure map-making or building a butterfly feeder. Filled with colorful illustrations and tidbits of trivia, this playful book includes detailed instructions for 50 excellent ed-ventures for you and your offspring.
