From founder of the Wild + Free Movement Arment (The Call of the Wild and Free: Reclaiming Wonder in Your Child’s Education), comes the third book in the “Wild + Free” series. Arment, along with the help of several contributors, suggests 25 activities that involve nature in some form or another. Presented in full color, the activities are grouped into five areas: Wander, Capture, Nurture, Gather, and Explore. From simple trips (taking a nature walk in your neighborhood), to more complex projects (growing your own mushrooms), the wide variety of adventures includes painting, camping, foraging, growing, cooking, exploring, and collecting. Each activity stimulates multiple senses. Designed to help children fall in love with nature and develop a healthy love of the outdoors, this book will give adults and their kids many great ideas to help achieve this goal.
VERDICT Although geared primarily toward homeschooling parents, this book will also be useful for teachers, babysitters, and anyone else who cares for children and wants to get them out into nature.
