A practical companion to help kids enjoy outdoor activities and
adventures even when it's rainy, snowy or windy.
As the weather turns into autumn and the kids start watching more
television and stare at the computer, how can you get them out and about
to enjoy the cooler months? Outdoor enthusiasts Steph and Katie are
teachers and mothers and have years of experience of finding new and
novel ways to get kids to enjoy the great outdoors, whatever the
weather.
This great little tome is packed with ideas for games, activities and
nature crafts that are perfectly suited to the autumnal and winter
months of rain and wind. Activities range from puddle painting and
making your own nature paint brushes, to making wind spinners from
golden leaves and feathers. Why not try puddle pouncing or raindrop
racing, or create a pool and spa for an elf? Or make a leafy woven kite,
windmill or nature parachute for the windy weather?
Nature offers loads of autumnal bits and bobs just waiting for a
creative hand. And if you don't want to stay out for too long, the book
lists things to collect outdoors for taking home and used for
stay-at-home projects.
The book encourages youngsters to see the excitement of wind, snow, rain
and to enjoy the elements with fun projects that excite the imagination.
