* In the Playroom *This is a brilliant book, packed with outdoors to get our kids outside and learning. This book would be a great resource for homeschool families, or for any parents who are looking for simple and meaningful outdoor activities to try with the kids. As we all know, time spent outside is so important and the ideas from this book allow you to mix it up with something new and different, and incorporate some hands on learning while you enjoy the fresh air. It’s definitely a win win, and we would recommend this book to all families.
* Crunchy Family *If you are looking for a resource of nature-related activities and crafts, to encourage children to develop their curiosity about the science of nature and natural phenomena, this could well fit the bill. … Illustrated with photographs of a diverse group of child investigators, and with step-by-step instructions, the practical projects all begin with a needs list and conclude with a ‘science made simple’ explanation. As a foundation stage/ primary teacher, most of the activities are not new to me but might be to parents of under elevens. I know from experience that youngsters are fascinated by shadow art and in this book Laura and Tia offer two ways of using shadows to create art. Equally, most young children love watching tiny creatures so making an ant farm would appeal particularly for those who have more interest in fauna than flora. It’s a great way to encourage children to be observologists from an early age. … This is a book for family collections, one to encourage children to set their screens aside and enjoy the outdoors especially now the longer days are here.
-- Jill Bennett * Red Reading Hub *This series is probably our most used activity books and we're super excited to use this new addition over the summer. Clear instructions, mostly accessible/to hand materials and a short explanation of the scientific concepts too. Prefect for curious kids of all ages - and their parents! They're great for school too.
