Nature Play Workshop for Families
Nature play is the freedom for children to explore and play in nature at their whim and in their own way, without adult interference. This is one thing our family enjoyed while homeschooling and our kids learned so much from it. The last chapter has the following templates: Nature Events Calendar yearly and monthly, moon journal, nature in the city scavenger hunt, and seedling growth chart. Nature play can kindle a lasting love of nature and compassion for other living things. 144 pgs, pb. ~Amber
